You need to post an example string that you are trying the replace on. You should also tell us what you expect the output to look like.

here the input

$sunrise = "%sunrise%"; ..................sun rise time (make sure you have the correct lat/lon

here what i went $sunrise = "%sunrise%"; //sun rise time (make sure you have the correct lat/lon

the number of dots change on each line that why i was trying to seat a range

Try this

$test = StringRegExpReplace($line,('\.{2,4}','//')

In regular expressions the dot character '.' actually means any character if you want to find actual dots you need to escape it by placing a backslash before it e.g. '\.'

I got this error

$test = StringRegExpReplace($line,('\.{2,4}',

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
