oh wait. i can use $post->post_content instead.
never mind….

thank you very much Venugopal!

Apologies that I didn’t explain more specific.
The reason why I am trying to find a efficient way is:

for example, in a content, there will be a text “SOMETHING”,
and I want to replace it to be “<div>SOMETHING<span>EVERYTHING</span></div>”.

But each word is not the same. that is why I wanted to make a pattern.

so the code I wrote for was to explain that:

function replace_content($content) {
$replace_pattern = '#text A-01#' , '#text A-02#';
$replace_pattern = '#text B-01#' , '#text B-02#';
$replace_pattern = '#text C-01#' , '#text C-02#';

$content = str_replace('$replace_pattern(text01)', '<div>$replace_pattern(text01)<span>$replace_pattern(text02)</span></div>',$content);

return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content','replace_content');

to find “#text A-01#” in the content and replace it to be”<div>#text A-01#<span>#text A-02#</span></div>”

each text (like “#text A-01#”) has a matching text (like “#text A-02#”) to be replaced with.

Do you understand what I am trying to say??

Thank you very much for helping me!

thanks, Venugopal!
I already know that code will work…
but I have so many text to replace, so I wanted to make it more efficient.
like,

function replace_content($content) {
$replace_pattern = '#text A-01#' , '#text A-02#';
$replace_pattern = '#text B-01#' , '#text B-02#';
$replace_pattern = '#text C-01#' , '#text C-02#';

$content = str_replace('$replace_pattern(text01)', '<div>$replace_pattern(text01)<span>$replace_pattern(text02)</span></div>',$content);

return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content','replace_content');

Instead of just adding the entire replacing code, I want to add the ‘$replace-pattern’ so it would be easier to manage.
I don’t even know how or if there’s any way to do this…

thanks again!

thank you so much Ncej!!!
it works exactly as I wanted!
