One difference though is I used preg_replace_callback (http://us2.php.net/preg_replace_callback) so that I can do custom scripting with the matched string to be replaced. I know I'm entering this discussion a bit late, but one tool that I've found indispensible in writing regular expressions (even after knowing how to write them) is The Regex Coach (http://www.weitz.de/regex-coach) (Free, and runs on Windows and Linux). Essentially, you paste the text to search into the bottom textbox, and then start typing your regular expression into the top one. As you type, it shows you what it is matching in the bottom one. It can also show you what individual submatches are matching, and all sorts of neat stuff. So, if I have an HTML web page and I want to suck some specific information out of it, I'll paste the information in, write up a regex, and make sure it's matching what it's supposed to. But the feedback AS you're typing it is super handy. For example, if I have a regex, and I add a [a-z], then the indicator will show it matching the next character, then if I add *, the text selection will expand to show it matching the rest of the letters, and so on. Anyhow, I find the feedback as I write a regex to be addictively useful. Regards, Adam Zey. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] preg_replace learning resources? Regex tuts? Tips? (and yes, I have been rtfm)
Hi all, I have been rtfm on preg_replace, and I am a bit turned-off by how complex reg-exing appears to be anyway, I would like to spend some time learning how I would convert a file full of links that look like: A HREF=/viewentry.asp?ID=343323PT=PERSONALITIES TARGET=_topFake Link 1/A A HREF=/viewentry.asp?ID=328474PT=PERSONALITIESFake Link 2/A A HREF=/viewentry.asp?ID=340492PT=PERSONALITIESFake Link 3/A A HREF=/viewentry.asp?ID=339795PT=PERSONALITIESFake Link 4/A And make them look like this: a href=http://www.site.com/viewentry.asp?ID=343323amp;PT=PERSONALITIES; target=_blankFake Link 1/a a href=http://www.site.com/viewentry.asp?ID=328474amp;PT=PERSONALITIES; target=_blankFake Link 2/a a href=http://www.site.com/viewentry.asp?ID=340492amp;PT=PERSONALITIES; target=_blankFake Link 3/a a href=http://www.site.com/viewentry.asp?ID=339795amp;PT=PERSONALITIES; target=_blankFake Link 4/a Basically, I would like to make the links/code xhtml transitional, make the links absolute, add quotes where needed, convert to amp;, and make them open in a blank window... it would be cool to trash everything except for the url and link description (in other words, if any of the links have, for example, TARGET=_top, it would just ignore and grab only what I want from source file Any good links to tutorials and/or resources that teach one how to scrub urls with PHP and regex?
