[PHP] preg_match? Or something else?
I have an array that's created as follows:
$string = "73G146C 311- 309.1C";
$arr = preg_split("/[\s]+/", $string);
Now I need to take each element in that array, and break them up even
further so that I get:
73G=> "73" and "G"
146C => "146" and "C"
311- => "311" and "-"
309.1C => "309", "1", and "C" (notice 3 elements here)
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what the proper regex would be
for this, or whether that's the right thing to do. So far I've gotten this:
preg_match("/^(?P\d+)(?P[A-Z-])/", $item, $matches);
print_r($matches);
Which gives me:
Array
(
[0] => 73G
[location] => 73
[1] => 73
[letter] => G
[2] => G
)
Array
(
[0] => 146C
[location] => 146
[1] => 146
[letter] => C
[2] => C
)
Array
(
[0] => 311-
[location] => 311
[1] => 311
[letter] => -
[2] => -
)
Array
(
)
However that's as far as it goes. For the other number it returns an empty
array and I know why, the decimal point. Now I can evaluate each $item
every time, see if they contain a decimal point, and pass it to a different
regex string, but that seems rather inefficient to me. So how can I do this
all in one fell swoop?
Anyone want to take a stab at it?
