Help with very basic Regular Expression in Dreamweaver

[Integralist]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a find and replace using Dreamweaver CS4 and am having an issue with what I assume to be a basic Regular Expression.

In my website I have the following two lines of text used throughout:

call today on XXXXXX
call on XXXXXX

I want to replace the 'XXXXXX' section with a number (e.g. 123) but using the following Regular Expression in the 'Find' box within Dreamweaver I'm only able to find the 'call today on XXXXXX' text...

call (today)? on XXXXXX

How can I find all sentences that match the above (i.e. 'call today on XXXXXX' and 'call on XXXXXX') but have the word 'today' as optional?

Also what would I need to add into Dreamweaver's 'Replace' box to change the XXXXXX?

I assume it would be something like...

call $1 on 123

Any help appreciated.

Kind regards,

M.

Your attempt wouldn't match 'call on XXXXXX', because the pattern has two non-optional spaces between 'call' and 'on'. Try moving one of the spaces inside the parentheses,

call( today)? on XXXXXX

As you don't care about 'call' or 'call today', match only on 'on ', unless there's conflicting text...

Hi,

Thanks AutisticCuckoo that worked!

Also, in case anyone was interested the replace field was...

call$1 on 123456

Thanks for your help.
