regex problems

[safra]

Hi,

If the > character occurs in a string, I would like to put the remaining of a string starting from character > in bold:

example:
$var = "beginning of string > end of string";

should become:
$var = &quot;beginning of string <b>> end of string</b>&quot;;

could anyone show me how to do this with ereg().

Thanks,
Ron

This should work:
$string = ereg_replace(&quot;(.*)(>.*)&quot;, &quot;\\1<b>\\2</b>&quot;, $string); //Daniel

Thanks, it did work!

But it seems that if more then one > occurs only the part from the last > is effected. How to effect everything from the first >?

Try this:
$string = ereg_replace(&quot;([^>]*)(>.*)&quot;, &quot;\\1<b>\\2</b>&quot;, $string); //Daniel

that's it, thanks a lot!

I was close but missed the brackets.
