The problem is that it's looking for hyphen, - , immediately preceeding the end.  
Remove the $.

Subject: [PHP] ereg usage


Could someone please tell me why this code is not working:

ereg ('^[A-H]*([0-9]+)-$', $rank, $matches);
    $workshop_ID = $matches[1][2};

where $rank is something like C12-1 and I just need the C12 part.

Many thanks
