$string = "April 15, 2003"; $pattern = "/(\w+) (\d+), (\d+)/i"; $replacement = "\${1}1,\$3"; "Gerardo Rojas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a regular expression, that finds what i want. The problem lies in that I don't want to replace this pattern with another. I want to prefix the pattern with a character.
