[pmwiki-devel] $12.50 -> .50 var problem

[J. Meijer]

Caveman, if your problem is some $ appearing in a regex, I think you're going too fast and I will revoke your license to access the internet freely. Then it's the end of line/string for you to match. No more dollars to do that for you! 

I humbly request that, if this be the case, you, having retrieved them missing $12, transfer them to me. 

Is this a regular enough an expression for you?

The following is causing me huge problems.  Been working on it for
hours--and seem to have finally narrowed it down to here...

if (strpos($newpage[text], "(:$ff: ") == true) $newpage['text'] =  preg_replace(
           '/\\(:'.$ff.': (.*?):\\)/s',  "(:$ff: $v:)",  $newpage['text'], 1);

It's part of a routine that checks to tell if a certain (hidden) text
variable exists and if it does, it replaces the current value with the
new value ($v).

All works fine generally--except when $v has a $ in it it thinks its a
variable that doesn't exist.  So $12.50 gets changed to .50.  And that
throws me off.

Can anyone suggest a fix for this bedeviling little bug...

Cheers,
Dan

PS.  I'm pretty sure $ff and $v are the correct values going into this
process. Just missing the $12!
