Seems to me that this would work, assuming at least one space after the '.' in every line: $string = ltrim($string, "0123456789."); if ($string[0] == ' ') $string = substr($string, 1); But perhaps I'm missing something... I dunno if the OP can guarantee at least one space or not. I may have missed a followup with that detail. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
