[pmwiki-users] Category Markup

[DaveG]

I'm having trouble with regular expression replacement.

Start String : "Tags: a,b, c"
Result String: "Tags: [[!a]],[[!b]], [[!c]]"

$ROSPatterns["/^Tag(s?):\\s([A-Za-z0-9]\s?)+([,]\s?([A-Za-z0-9]\s?)+)*$/i"] 
= "Tags: [[!\$2]]";

I used some tools to verify my comma separted list expression, and it 
appears okay. I'm not sure how to perform the varying length 
substitution on the right side of the assignment.
