# 1988 Acura Legend Coupe L 9.6 17.2
$re1 = ‘^([0-9]{4} s [a-zA-Z]+ s [a-zA-Z]+ s) .+ ([0-9]{1,2}.[0-9]{1,2} s[0-9]{1,2}.[0-9]{1,2})$’;
$re2 = ‘^(([0-9]{4}) , ([a-zA-Z]+) , ([a-zA-Z]+) ,) .+ ([0-9]{1,2}.[0-9]{1,2}, [0-9]{1,2}.[0-9]{1,2})$’;

Question is how can you do it?

ereg doesnt seem to work for me so I must have a bug somewhere in there.

erag takes the 3rd argument testing against the 1st argument. that is then passed to be replaced by the 2nd

are commas key words in regexp? If not why isnt this working? I am very confident in the re’s.

Also in #PHP _↴
