TY First,
TY I need the code to replace the link in a string, like
TY BASE HREF=www.google.com with BASE HREF=mystring
TY ereg_replace('BASE HREF=\'(.*)'\', 'BASE HREF=\$my_string\',
TY $old);
TY That was the closest i got, but (.*) makes it take the first BASE HREF, and
the last , which sucks.
TY Can anyone help?
I'm not a regex guru by any means, but I think your problem here is
that your expression is greedy. Try (.?) ... I think.
TY Second,
TY I hate asking for help on Regexps...I would like a tutorial online that
TY steps me through one method of them at a time, and then lets me move
TY on...kindof like math. You have to know the basics befor you can get
TY advanced. Any help there either?
I have found that the best people to ask for regex questions are PERL
programmers. They seem to have the insider knowledge on this stuff.
There are a few online tutorials that I've seen, but none that I could
recommend with any confidence. They are simply this expression does
this, and put it together ... wow it works! Regexs are great!
There is a #perl channel on freenode (IRC) that I have found to be
extremely helpful in this regard.
If you do find any good tutorials, I would appreciate an offline.
