RE: [PHP] Regex question: replacing incidences of character when not enclosed within HTML tags? (somewhat solved)
So, thinking about it a little more, I decided what I was looking for was
a
regular expression that would allow me to replace any incidences of
hyphens
when not contained within tags (i.e., when not contained between and
).
And this is where things have ground to a halt.
Hi All,
After toying with this for several hours I decided to give up on trying to
work out a way to achieve this via a single regular expression replacement.
My simpler 'solution' now is to pull out all text not contained within tags
using preg_match_all(), and run a str_replace() across these values to
replace any incidences of hyphens, and then another str_replace() to replace
the content with the substring where hyphens were found.
So, something like:
?
preg_match_all(/(^|)(.+?)(|$)/m, $text,$hypharr);
for ($i=0; $i count($hypharr[0]); $i++){
$rephyph = str_replace(-,-span style='font-size: 0px;'
/span, $hypharr[0][$i]);
if ($rephyph $hypharr[0][$i]){
$text= str_replace($hypharr[0][$i],$rephyph,$text);
}
}
?
This seems to achieve what I'm looking for, ie replacing hyphens when not
contained in HTML tags.
Regards,
Murray

[PHP] Regex question: replacing incidences of character when not enclosed within HTML tags?
Hi All, I have content that contains several lengthy hyphenated sentences, such as: This-is-a-sentence-in-which-all-the-words-are-hyphenated. I've noticed that some (maybe all?) browsers, particularly Firefox, will not wrap long strings of hyphenated words when they are contained in a DIV tag -- instead, the sentence simply runs out across the right border of the DIV and overlaps any content to the right. After some experimentation, I discovered that a hack that seems to behave well in Firefox, Opera, and IE6 is to replace all incidences of the hyphen (-) character with -span style='font-size:0px;' /span. This effectively creates a zero-width space character after each hyphen and allows the sentence to wrap as desired. My dilemma is that while I want to replace any hyphens with the above hack when and where they appear within normal sentences, I don't want to replace them when and where they appear within HTML tags. So, imagine I have a string that contains: div style='text-decoration: none; font-size:11px;'This-is-a-sentence-that-contains-hyphenation. This is a sentence that doesn't contain hyphenation. This is a a href='http://www.nowhere.com/-4484784/index.html'link/a that will take you span style='font-weight: bold;'nowhere/span./div I managed to build a replacement regular expression that would ignore any hyphenated strings that were terminated by a colon (:) character (which effectively leaves inline style attributes in DIV and SPAN blocks untouched). ? $thingy = preg_replace(/(-)(?![\w-]+?:)/i, \$1span style='font-size:0px;' /span, $whatever); ? This seemed to work well in most circumstances, however, in testing I discovered several incidences of a href= urls that also contain hyphens (in particular, some that lead to Amazon.com). So, thinking about it a little more, I decided what I was looking for was a regular expression that would allow me to replace any incidences of hyphens when not contained within tags (i.e., when not contained between and ). And this is where things have ground to a halt. I'm wondering if anyone can give me some help with this? I've tried to find a solution via google, but most regex examples dealing with HTML tags are concerned with finding tags and their contents, not with finding specific instances of characters not contained within tags. Any help appreciated! Much warmth, Murray -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Use the following:
/(^@)(@{1})(^@)/
This way you'll be sure the regexp will match only single occurences ot hte
'@' symbol.
Please take in mind that if you have this symbol in the beginning of the
string or at the end - you have to modify this.
I only want the two occurrences with a single occurrence of @.
@{1} doesn't work; there are 4 matches.

Re: [PHP] regex question
Murry's solution here is ideal since it only captures the single occurrence.
Since I want to use it for a preg_replace(), it is perfect.
A couple of folks sent this pattern [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]; but, it doesn't work because I
then have to remove the unwanted caracters on either side.
All it says is [not @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@] but, it captures the 2 characters on
each side.
Murry's solution (?!@)@(?!@) is good since it only captures the @
Thanks everyone

Please ignore my last email re: your question. I realized that the negation
of the range containing the @ would end up capturing unwanted characters.
As an alternative, try the following:
preg_match_all('/(?!@)@(?!@)/','Some @ text with the @t sym@@bol ',
$thing, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($thing);
Hope that's a little more relevant to your question.

Try (for example if character was A) ...

This matches four cases:

A has a letter before it and a letter after it,
A is at end of string and there is a letter before it,
or A is the only character in the string.

/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ seems to do what you're looking for. In
other words, match the
@ symbol where it is not preceded or followed by another @ symbol.
To test, try:
preg_match_all('/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/','Some @ text with the @t
sym@@bol @@@',
$thing, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($thing);
There may be a more intuitive way to do this, but at least it seems to work.

RE: [PHP] regex question
Try (for example if character was A) ...
([^A]|^)A([^A]|$)
This matches four cases:
A is at beginning of string and there is another letter after it,
A has a letter before it and a letter after it,
A is at end of string and there is a letter before it,
or A is the only character in the string.
I think this has the same problem that my first attempt at this regex
experienced.
I.e., it will correctly 'find' single instances of 'A', but it will 'match'
against unwanted characters on either side of each 'found' 'A' because they
are not-A.
For example, the following:
preg_match_all('/([^A]|^)A([^A]|$)/','A sentence with instAnces of AAA
chArActers', $thing, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($thing);
produces:
Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[0] = A
[1] = 0
)
[1] = Array
(
[0] = tAn
[1] = 19
)
[2] = Array
(
[0] = hAr
[1] = 34
)
)
[1] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[0] =
[1] = 0
)
[1] = Array
(
[0] = t
[1] = 19
)
[2] = Array
(
[0] = h
[1] = 34
)
)
[2] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[0] =
[1] = 1
)
[1] = Array
(
[0] = n
[1] = 21
)
[2] = Array
(
[0] = r
[1] = 36
)
)
)
Note the multiple instances of characters other than 'A' in the array. Also
note that the 4th qualifying 'A' (the second 'A' in 'chArActers') is missed,
because the 'r' is already part of the capture of the preceding 'A').
On the other hand, the following:
preg_match_all(' /(?!A)A(?!A)/','A sentence with instAnces of AAA
chArActers', $thing, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($thing);
produces:
Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[0] = A
[1] = 0
)
[1] = Array
(
[0] = A
[1] = 20
)
[2] = Array
(
[0] = A
[1] = 35
)
[3] = Array
(
[0] = A
[1] = 37
)
)
)
Here, only the target characters are matched, without the confusion of extra
unwanted characters. All 4 target 'A's are caught, because the patterns on
either side of the 'A' in the regex pattern are non-capturing. So, basically
this is employing a non-capturing negative look-behind and a non-capturing
negative look-ahead, rather than capturing negated character classes.
I've probably only managed to confuse things more than they were, but I'm
hoping some of what I've said above makes sense (to me, if no-one else).

Murray

I'm trying something like : eregi([\HTTP/1.\]+[0-1]+[\ 302\],$output) eregi([HTTP/1.]+[0-1]+[ 302],$output) eregi(HTTP/1.+[0-1]+ 302,$output) But I must be off cause it doesn't work. Anyone? thanks berber -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] Regex question
In case anyone is interested, eregi(HTTP/1.[01].302,$output) seems to work :) berber -Original Message- From: Boaz Yahav Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 2:03 PM To: PHP General (E-mail) Subject: [PHP] Regex question I'm trying to find if a string exists inside a string.

[PHP] regex question
I'm trying to parse an existing html file using php. I need to use regex to find the first (and only the first) occurance of i and the last (and only the last) occurance of /i in a string. They will be replaced with ||. example of a string: blah blah isome stuff/i that i ineed to get/i blah blah blah. needs to become: blah blah ||some stuff that i need to get|| blah blah blah. so the following is what i need. //replace outer tags with || $string = ereg_replace (Some regex that only finds the first i,||,$string); $string = ereg_replace (Some regex that only finds the last /i,||,$string); //take out remaining (inner) tags. $string = ereg_replace (i,,$string); $string = ereg_replace (/i,,$string); thanks Julian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] RegEx Question
if (preg_match_all(|testing(.*?);blah|s, $str, $matches))
{
// do what you want with $matches: see in the manual!
var_dump($matches);
}

Subject: [PHP] RegEx Question
Hi,
I have an ereg question::.
$data = a big string ,
while (ereg (testing([^;]*);blah(.*),$data,$args)) {
$this = $args[1];
$data = $args[2];
}
What I wanna do ,obviously, is to get all the strings between 'testng' and
'blah' in an array.
This will do it, yet when it wont work when special chars such \n exist
between 'testing' and 'blah'.
Any ideas?

Use preg_match() with 's' or 'm' as modifier (one of these is correct...)
