"*?" is an bad combination. That's why you get the error.
Perhaps you are looking for something like "[[:space:]]?<[tT][dD][^>]*>"

>Hi people,
>
>I am having problems doing a regex using ereg_replace
>I am reading a file and when I find a line with  white space and <td
width=123>
>I want to remove these characters up to an including the '>'.
>This is what a typical line looks like:
>-----------------------------------------
>   <td width="49">205</td>
>   <td width="155">Asaro, Doreen</td>
>   <td width="197">G.I.S.</td>
>   <td width="42">&nbsp;</td>
>----------------------------------------------
>
>I have tried the following but it does not work
>------------------------------------------
>foreach($content as $line)
>{
> $line = ereg_replace(".*>", "", $line);
> print "$i = $line <br>";
> $i++;
>}
>------------------------------------------
>
>I also tried :
>$line = ereg_replace(".*?>", "", $line);
>To make sure that it does not remove the entire line when it finds the '>'
in  "</td>"
>but I get this error:
>*Warning*: ereg_replace() [function.ereg-replace
