Just one way to do it: $strings[] = 'Blah Blah R 99.99'; $strings[] = 'Blah Blah R99.99'; $strings[] = 'Blah Blah 99.99CR'; foreach($strings as $value) { if (preg_match('/\sR/', $value)) { echo 'A match was found in '.$value.'<br />'; } else { echo 'A match was not found '.$value.'<br />'; } } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
