A dash ('-') in the character set wildcard ("[...]") indicates a character range (as you know). You've just overlooked that using a '-' literally as a member in such a set should be written first, after the opening bracket. regex="([-A-Za-z0-9 ,./]*) - ([ A-Za-z0-9/]*)" Otherwise you include the range from space to comma, which just misses the dash. -W On 10 June 2012 07:40, Dan Vint <dvint@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I have the following value in the $title variable without the quotes > "foo-119 Mode Module Batteries - Installation" > > I have a series of strings like this where I want to separate the content after the last "space dash space" from everything the proceeds that point.
