I need to remove some characters from a string in PHP In the specific first I need to find the string below in a larger text, and then remove the characters 'BG' from the string below:

<IdCodice>BG326325806</IdCodice>

basically the resulting string should be:

<IdCodice>326325806</IdCodice>

Now I know that with $re = '/[A-Z]{2}\d*/m'; I can match the string, but I don't know how to replace the original with the fixed string '326325806' in the text

You could match `\K[A-Z]{2}` and replace with an empty string https://3v4l.org/8iLcK – The fourth bird Feb 10 '20 at 10:26

I found that this will solve my particular problem without affecting other parts in the electronic invoice: $str = preg_replace('/([A-Z]{2})(\d+)/', '$2', $str); – Marcel Piquet Feb 10 '20 at 11:17
