$match = '/(?<=[a-z])(?<![Mm]c|[Mm]ac)([A-Z]+)/e'; Should make exceptions for "McDonald", "mcDonald", "MacDonald" and "macDonald". With luck you don't have any tables called something like "appleMacUsers". > unfortunately lookbehind assertions does not support non-fixed length chars so > /(?<=(?<!')[a-z])([A-Z]+)/e will work for 'mDonald' but the following will not > work. True, lookbehind assertions must be a fixed length - but unlike in perl, they can have alternates which are different fixed lengths: This is illegal, because the length isn't fixed: (?<![Mm]a?c) This is fine, because each alternate is fixed even though they are diffferent lengths: (?<![Mm]c|[Mm]ac) -robin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
