It was supposed to be this:
$test="אאבאגאדא אא א ";
$test=preg_replace('/\b([^\s]+)א\b.*/U', '$1ע', $test);
print $test; // PRINTS אאבאגאדא אא א
But I reversed them while trying a string of different letters, and
apparently only CTRL-Z'ed part of the code before copying to here.
Sorry. The code above also does not work. Not on my server, and not at
spaweditor.com (Thanks for that resource, by the way). You can see the
result and the exact code used here:

Thanks, that is a great resource.

Not for me. These are my parameters:
Enter regular expression here: /\b([^\s]+)א\b.*/U
Enter your data here: אאבאגאדא אא א ח
Enter text to replace matches with here: (backreferences are ok): $1ע
Regular expression options: PERL
Function: preg_replace
Flags: 0 limit
I really appreciate the help.

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