Thank you very much, Zoltan. Is there a known UTF-8 limitation?
Because it works fine for me in English letters (well, the opposite of
what I needed but I was able to work with it as which polar I start
with was arbitrary), but not in Hebrew letters. For instance, this
works as expected:

$test="aabacada aa a f";
$test=preg_replace('/\b([^\s]+)a\b.*/U', '$1A', $test);
print $test; // PRINTS aabacadA aA a f

However, this does not:

$test="אאבאגאדא אא א ";
$test=preg_replace('/\b([^\s]+)ע\b.*/U', '$1א', $test);
print $test; // PRINTS אאבאגאדא אא א

Am I misunderstanding something, or is there a UTF-8 problem, or
something else? Thank you for your assistance, it is much appreciated
and I'm learning what I can.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
