That works for me :-)

However, some advice on how best to convert the following case would be 
helpful. I use some code to extract the text of a link in the form:

$LinkTidy = array("/reg-exp1/" =>
                                  "MakeLink(\$pagename, ... matches ... 
, '\$LinkText')",
                             "/reg-exp2/" =>
                                  "MakeLink(\$pagename, ... matches ... 
, '\$LinkText')");
foreach ($LinkTidy as $exp => $repl) {
     $text = SomeFunction($exp, $repl, $text);
}

Currently, SomeFunction is preg_replace, $exp has an e modifier and 
matches contains '$1', '$2', etc as appropriate to the $exp. In some 
cases, $exp has no modifier and $repl is simply '$1'.

What is the best way to convert this? Preferably without a major code 
re-write, as I use this construct in several places.

Thanks
