Hmm... i'm not that advanced...
May be first I replace any string containing --- with ---x, then use
your solution?

Hmmm... I was about to reply with a simple solution, but there's a problem
with it that I can't explain. Assuming the text is in $str...
I can't get preg_replace to match a newline at the end of a pattern. If I
use...
$str = preg_replace('/\n=.+--\n/sU', '', $str);
...it matches nothing, but if I put a tag character at the end of the
dashes, e.g.
x
...then use...
$str = preg_replace('/\n=.+--x/sU', '', $str);
...it works perfectly. I'm not sure why the pattern doesn't care about
the first newline, but it chokes on the second one. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Alex
I have an ASCII file which has multiple blocks of text I want to clear.
The
scheme is as follows:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
line 1 Everything between the separators,
line 2 including the separators
line 3 I want to clear from the text file
line 4
-
This text I want to keep
There are infinite number of blocks surrounded by exactly the same
separators.
So, I guess I need to clear everything between the starting = and the
ending -.
Can anyone suggest a regex pattern string that would help me accomplish
that?
Thank you all guys in advance!
