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.
