I need to clear the whole line where a certain string is found, until the carriage return. var LineStr = "* What a beautiful day\n"; var ResultingEmptyLine = preg_replace('/* What[\s\S]+?day\n', '', LineStr); The code below does not work. Any suggestion? If there is no way of doing this, how could I then delete all characters present between "* What" and the NEXT "*" (assuming that there are many statements in the textbox area as a bulletpoint list with "*").
