Great. Just a small detail which I cant't achieve even though both you
and Rik gave me excelent advice:

Your code output is:

After:
Hello World Hellloooooo

whereas I would like to get

Hello World
Hellloooooo

So I thought it would be esay to solve just changing
>>>echo preg_replace ("/\/\/\/(.*)/", "", $str);
to
>>>echo preg_replace ("/\/\/\/(.*)/", "/n", $str);

Note the "/n"
But it actually doesn't work at all.
What's wrong? Why "/n" doesn't do anything?
