Andrey,

Thanks for the time that you put into this!
After some tweaking (for my scripts) I got this working nicely, and learned
a thing or two about PREG also.

2001-08-27 Thread Andrey Hristov 

Some time spent to try but now i think it works:

";
 $a='datadatadatadata[link1]datadatadata{link2}data[link3]';
// $a='datadata{link1}data[link2]datadatadata{link3}data[link4]';
 $pattern='/((\[)|\{)(.+?)(?(2)\]|\})/';
 echo $a."\n";
 echo $pattern."\n";
 preg_match_all($pattern,$a,$matches,PREG_MATCH_ORDER);
 var_dump($matches);
?>

Produces :
datadatadatadata[link1]datadatadata{link2}data[link3]
/(\[)|\{(.+?)(?(1)\]|\})/
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
[0]=>
string(1) "["
[1]=>
string(7) "{link2}"
[2]=>
string(1) "["
  }
  [1]=>
  array(3) {
[0]=>
string(1) "["
[1]=>
string(0) ""
[2]=>
string(1) "["
  }
  [2]=>
  array(1) {
[0]=>
string(5) "link2"
  }
}

Also works with the commented string.
Explanation : Looking for more than one using preg_match_all. Matching for [ or {, [ 
is in () because at the end we test if we found
[ so we look for ] otherwise { is found so we look for matching }. (?(1) true|false) 
is 1 as a backreference is set so we found [.

Hope this will help you.

[PHP] Regular Expression Problem and PHP 4 (urgent) --- continued

2001-08-27 Thread Ross Nielsen 

Well my first solution didn't really work the way I needed it too so here
goes again...

Data returned from server process looks like following...

Header
datadatadatadata[link]datadatadata{link}data[link]
datadata{link}data[link]datadatadata{link}data[link]
datadatadatadata[link]datadatadata{link}data[link]
Closer

I need to grep the values between [] and {} to turn them into a links.
(BTW I need to retain the values for use in JS)
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ross

[PHP] Regular Expression Problem and PHP 4 (urgent)

2001-08-14 Thread Ross Nielsen 

Here is the problem:

I'm retrieving a page of data from another process using PHP4 on Solaris
2.51
This data is placed in an array by line and simply returned to the browser
after formatting.

A sample line may look something like this:
blah blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah 

I think I need to use eregi_replace to make the line look like this:
blah blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah 

when it is returned to the browser.

Thanks in advance
Ross
