I have an instance where I am trying to remove a couple different string scenerios from a variable. I have spent some time with regEx but I'm not getting anywhere. I'm hoping someone could help me out here. Basically I have names that MAY contain middle initials which I need to remove: John D. Smith I need to strip the "D." so that I have only John Smith In addition I have a few instances where the name contains a secondary last name in parentheses that I need to remove: Joanne (Taylor) Smith I need to strip the Taylor so that I am left with Joanne Smith. If anybody could help me with this I would be very appreciative. Ron -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
