$s = '1 2 20 - 31 55 56 77 - 88 97 - 99';

$patRange = '/((\d+) *- *(\d+))/';

$matches = array();
preg_match_all($patRange, $s, $matches);

I expected to see an array with 3 matches for each of the there number
"ranges" found in the
string $s (20 - 31, 20 and 31).... I see 4. Why? Need some insight
from a jones. I don't understand what I'm seeing.

Thank you.
