Hi All,

I have an array of strings in the following format:
        "abcd - rst"
        "abcd - uvw"
        "abcd - xyz"
        "foobar - rst"
        "blah - rst"
        "googol - uvw"

What I want to do is strip everything from the " - " bit of the string to
the end, _but_ only for the strings that don't start with "abcd"

I was thinking something like the following:
        echo ereg_replace("(!abcd) - xyz", "\\1", $str)."\n";
but obviously this doesn't work, otherwise I wouldn't be emailing the
list...

Can anyone help? I need to use ereg_replace() because it's part of our code
library and therefore can't change :(

TIA
Martin
