This :

does remove all those characters doesn't it (as the OP asked and
Richard suggested on a previous thread). Without calling it more
than once as far as I tested. That was my point on the first place
and sorry if I didn't make that clear. On the other hand who ever
suggested calling ltrim without the second parameter.
You suggested before something like that:
ltrim(ltrim(ltrim($line, '0123456789'), '.'))
when you made a comparison didn't you?
Sorry if I got that wrong I meant no offense and I still don't.
That doesn't meet the objectives. Consider that $line might be "1. 100
apples". Your solution has reduced it to "apples" rather than the
required "100 apples".
Calling it three times as was suggested will produce the correct result.
