I’m trying to match and strip out the following content using preg\_match\_all()

```auto
1. content1, content2<br>
2. content1, content2<br>
3. content1, content2<br>
4. content1, content2<br>

```

I’d like to strip out ‘ **content1** ’ and ‘ **content2** ’ from each line… any help is appreciated.

I’m new to regex but I gave it a shot…here is the pattern I have sofar (doesn’t work yet but it’s a start)

```php
$testPattern = '/^[0-9]\.(.*),(.*)<br>$/';

```
