[PHP] Regex help please
I'm normally OK with regex, especially if I fiddle with it long enough,
however I have fiddled with this one so long that I'm either totally
missing it or it's something simple. Does it have anything to do with
the backref, or the fact that the value of the backref has a $? I have:
$out = '
{$sites}
tr
td
{Site.id}
/td
/tr
{/$sites}';
And I want to capture the first {$tag}, everything in between and the
last {$/tag}. I have tried several things and here is my current regex
that looks like it should work, but doesn't:
preg_match_all('|{\$([^}]+)}(.+)({/\1})|Us', $out, $matches);
Gives:
Array
(
[0] = Array
(
)
[1] = Array
(
)
[2] = Array
(
)
[3] = Array
(
)
)

Shawn,
First thing I see--your first capture group doesn't include the $, and
so your final capture group will always fail given your current $out
(because it's looking for {/sites} instead of {/$sites}). Also, your
{} are outside of your capture group in \1, but inside in \3. Here's
what I came up with:
$out = '
{$sites}
tr
td
{Site.id}
/td
/tr
{/$sites}';
$matches = array();
preg_match_all('#{(\$[^}]+)}(.*?){(/\1)}#s', $out, $matches);
print_r($matches);
Produces this:
Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[0] = {$sites}
tr
td
{Site.id}
/td
/tr
{/$sites}
)
[1] = Array
(
[0] = $sites
)
[2] = Array
(
[0] =
tr
td
{Site.id}
/td
/tr
)
[3] = Array
(
[0] = /$sites
)
)
Keep in mind, I had to view the page source in order to see the HTML
tags, but it showed me everything I expected to see.

HTH,
Yes, thank you. I was fiddling before I got your post and I came up
with roughly the same.
preg_match_all('|{(\$[^}]+)}(.+){(/\1)}|Us', $out, $matches);

Hey everyone, Not completely specific to php but I know you guys know regex's better then I do! :) I am attempting to match purl.schreurprinting.com/jasonpruim112 to purl.schreurprinting.com/p.php?purl=jasonpruim112 Here are my current matching patterns: RewriteRule /(.*) /volumes/raider/webserver/ documents/dev/schreurprinting.com/p.php?purl=$ # RewriteRule /(*.) /purl.schreurprinting.com/$1 # RewriteRule /(mail.php?purl=*) / purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php?purl=$1 Yes I am doing this for apache's mod_rewrite, but my question is much more specific to regex's at this point :) Any ideas where I am going wrong? it seems like it should be fairly simple to do, but I don't know regex's at all :) -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.

The rewrite is fairly straightforward. I went 100% generic with the match due to your following e-mail that stated jasonpruim112 could be any username.

Go to http://www.enetwizard.ws and it might make more sense. All the links on the left have an ONCLICK=location.href = '' attribute in the TR tag. This solution allowed me to make sure those links included the session information, just like the A:HREF links do. It also had the advantage of updating the links in my CSS. O that breaks accessibility standards! Compliment the 'onclick's with onkeydown at least :) But still you get a solid onclick=... scenario If these are visible in the source then they are fairly easy to pick out Though you may need more than 1 regex ;) My complaint here is, don't break accessibility :) And don't forget the folks who have javascript turned off or are using text based browsers too.

[PHP] Regex Help for URL's
Can someone help me modify the following code?
It was designed to search for all instances of [LEVEL#]...[/LEVEL#]
I need a preg_match_all that will search for all of instances of an URL.
It should be sophisticated enough to find something as complicated as this:
http(s)://x.y.z.domain.com/dir/dir/file.name.ext?query=1query=2#anchor
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
preg_match_all('#\[LEVEL([0-9])\](.*)\[/LEVEL[0-9]]#Uim', $arcContent,
$tmpMatches);
$arcContent = preg_replace('#\[LEVEL([0-9])\](.*)\[/LEVEL[0-9]]#Uim',

so your looking for a regular expression that is *totally* different

do you expect us to do the complete rewrite for you or do you want to
learn abit about regexps yourself? (that probably sounds arrogant, so it might
help to know even the most experienced people (a group I don't consider myself

I suggest using a search engine to start with and see what that turns up...
somehow I can't believe that nobody has ever written a regexp that matches urls,
for instance try reading this page in the manual (hint: look at the the user

RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's
I am trying to get all of the urls in a web document, so that I can append information to the urls when needed (when the url points to a domain that resides on my server). It allows me to pass session information across the domains of my network. Currently, I use a class I wrote to handle this, but it only works when it finds the urls in a standard html tag. I need to expand upon this, so that it also finds urls that are in onclick events, for example.

I wasn't being rude. Although even If I was commanding me stop is rather
futile no? if I was being rude I would have said something like:
read http://php.net/preg_match and find the get_links() function
posted by 'max99x [at] gmail [dot] com' you f*** wit
now that would have been rude.
the argument that the length of time spent programming automatically
makes you 'not a slacker' is unbased. one does not equate the other.
personally I would assume anyone who had been programming for 20 yrs
would have a reasonable understanding of regexps.

Don't be rude. I've already don't all of that. Nothing came up. I've
been
programming for 20 years (since I was 11 years old) so I'm not a slacker
when it comes to learning new things, however, I have always found regular
expressions to be extremely difficult. Someone here might have the answer

need, and if so, I'd appreciate a response. If you don't know the answer,
don't reply. Simple enough, don't you think?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
so your looking for a regular expression that is *totally* different
from the regular expression you have... the two have nothing in common.
do you expect us to do the complete rewrite for you or do you want to
learn abit about regexps yourself? (that probably sounds arrogant, so it

help to know even the most experienced people (a group I don't consider

I suggest using a search engine to start with and see what that turns
up...
somehow I can't believe that nobody has ever written a regexp that matches
urls,
for instance try reading this page in the manual (hint: look at the the
user
notes)
http://php.net/preg_match
come back when/if you get stuck.
preg_match_all('#\[LEVEL([0-9])\](.*)\[/LEVEL[0-9]]#Uim', $arcContent,

$arcContent = preg_replace('#\[LEVEL([0-9])\](.*)\[/LEVEL[0-9]]#Uim',

RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER]
In case any one is looking for a solution to a similar problem as me, here is the answer. I used the code from my original post as my guiding light, and with some experimentation, I figured it out. To get any URL, regardless of where it is located, use this: preg_match_all(#\'http://(.*)\'#U, $content, $matches); This match anything similar to: 'http://www.domain.com/dir/dir/file.txt?query=blah' This is useful, if for example, you have a tag like this one: A HREF=javascript:void(0); ONCLICK=javascript:window.open = 'http://www.domain.com/dir/dir/file.txt?query=blah'; Now, for tags which are in quotes, rather than single quotes, just use: preg_match_all(#\http://(.*)\#U, $content, $matches); This is really only the first step. In order to be useful, you need a way to process these urls according to your own specific needs: preg_match_all(#\'http://(.*)\'#U, $content, $matches); $content = preg_replace(#\'http://(.*)\'#U, '###URL###', $content); This will modify the $content variable to change all urls to ###URL### You can then go through them one at a time to process them: for ($count = 0; $count count($matches[1]); $count++) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The biggest problem with trying to match a string with regex is you
have to know the definition of what the string can be, for example
can the data be:
102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8
102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8
102-90 E 42X42X70 3/8
102-90 E 42\tX\t 42 \t X\n 70\r\n 3/8
I have:
102-90 E [!MATCH!] [!MATCH!] 70 3/8
If you want to just match those two numbers then:
/\s+(\d{1,2})\s+(X|x)\s+(\d{1,2})\s+(X|x)\s+/
Ideally what I want to do is update the db table that holds these records.
ID: 1
Unit: 102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8
Panel: 42
Width: 42
Height: 70 3/8
If this is the case, where does the 102-90 E come from? This sounds
more like a data normalization issue than anything.

If this string is always in this format
xxx E panel X width X height
then you could try something like:
// Very much untested
$unit = '102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8';
$split1 = explode('E', $unit);
list($panel, $width, $height) = explode('X', $split1[1]);

I'm thinking that perhaps you want to add the s modifier to your pattern...

Without it, newlines are excluded. This modifier is equivalent to Perl's /s modifier.

Hi Pablo, At a (reasonable) guess, I'd say it's because you're not using the s pattern modifier in your preg_match_all()? The s modifier forces your regular expression to match new lines with the . metacharacter.

cannot figure out why the following regex is not working:
script language=php

You don't escape hyphens like that in a character class. Put it at the
end of the list of characters like this:
[a-zA-Z0-9'-]
Then it'll match your test address.
If you're trying to find out why a regexp isn't working, try
simplifying your test cases until it works. For example:
$email = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; // doesn't work
$email = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; // doesn't work
$email = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; // doesn't work
$email = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; // works!

However I run into hassels around the TAGINCAPS as the response after it is all in caps and i cant get the Regex to stop just before the next tag: which may be either all caps or lowercase. I cant seem to find the regex that will retreive all chartures just before a word with a : regalrdless of case.

[PHP] RegEx help
I wanted to create a regex that force a PHP form text field to meet the
following requirements:
a. Must contain an 1 uppercase letter. [A-Z]
b. Must contain 1 digit. [0-9]
c. Must be a minimum of 7 characters in length. {7}
I'm not sure of how to build the correct syntax for using all 3
requirements together.
Any help?
Thanks,

Seems like you should be able to do then um... ([A-Z]|[0-9]) as your
regexp (check on escaping the ()'s or not. I can never remember)

To do it in one fell swoop you need to use lookahead assertions --
something like this:
if (preg_match('/(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9]).{7,}/', $text))
echo 'Valid!';
I believe this matches for any string that has at least one uppercase
letter and one digit and is at least 7 characters long. However it
allows other characters as well (not just A-Z and 0-9). Lots of
possible variations there.

I need a validation regex that will pass a string. The string can

characters except two consecutive ampersands () anywhere in the
string.
I'm stumped - ideas?
Yup, use this perl regex:
/^(?:()(?!)|[^]){1,5}$/
Where 5 above is the maximum length of the string. You can change this to
any positive value and the regex will still work. Basically it says look
for 1 to 5 single characters where each either isn't an ampersand, or IS an
ampersand but isn't immediately followed by an ampersand. The (?!) is a
zero-width negative look-ahead assertion which is like other assertions such
as \b that don't eat up the portions of the string that they match.
Sample code, tested:
$maxLen = 5;
$testStrings = array(
'a',
'g',
'df',
'adfdf',
'adfsdfff',
'ff',
'dfds',
'dsdf',
'ddf',
'dff'
);
foreach ($testStrings as $string) {
if (preg_match(/^(?:()(?!)|[^]){1,$maxLen}$/, $string)) {
print $string matches.\n;
} else {
print $string does not match.\n;
}

Thanks...I actually just realized that the parentheses around the first
ampersand are unnecessary (that was a leftover from a previous attempt), so
this is simpler and will work just as well:
/^(?:(?!)|[^]){1,5}$/
Or if you don't care about capturing portions of the match and then throwing
them away:
/^((?!)|[^]){1,5}$/

okay, you didn't show the regexp you currently have no worries - I
happen to have struck the same problem about 9 months ago when I had to
screenscrape product info from a static site for importation into a DB,
heres a list of regexps which will hopefully give you enough info to
do what you want (the fifth regexp is the one you should look at most
closely):
// strip out top and bottom
$str = preg_replace('/[\/]?html/is','',$str);
// strip out body tags
$str = preg_replace('/[\/]?body[^]*/is','',$str);
// strip out head
$str = preg_replace('/head.*[\/]head/Uis','',$str);
// strip out non product images
$str =
preg_replace('/img[^]*(nieuw|new|euro)\.gif[^]*\/?/Uis','',$str);
// strip out font, div, span, p, b
$str = preg_replace('/[\/]?(font|div|span|p|b[^r])[^]*/Uis','',$str);
// table, td, tr attributes
$str = preg_replace('/(table|td|tr)[^]*/Uis','$1',$str);
// strip out the first table and hr?
$str = preg_replace('/table.*hr/Uis','',$str, 1);
// strip table, td, tr
$str = preg_replace('/[\/]?(table|td|tr|h5)/Ui','',$str);
// strip out all new lines
$str = str_replace(\n, '', $str);
// strip out tabs
$str = preg_replace('/[\011]+/', ' ', $str);
// strip out extra white space
$str = preg_replace('/[ ]+/', ' ', $str);

Hi All, I rather badly need some help with a regular expression.

Sorry,
Here is the code I am using to match the h* tags:
h([1-9]){1}.*/h([1-9]){1}
I have removed all the NL and CR chars from the string
I am matching to make things easier. Also, I have run
tidy on the code so the tags are all uniform.
The above string seems to match the tag well now, but
I still need to remove the br tags from the tag
contents (.*).
The strings I will be matching are html formatted
text. Sample h* tags with content are below:
h4Ex-Secretary Mickey Mouse br /Loses Mass.
Primary/h4
h4Ex-Secretary Mickey Mouse br /Loses Mass.
Primary br / Wins New Jersey/h4
h4Ex-Secretary Reich Loses Mass. Primary/h4
Again, any help is appreciated.

It's not a reg exp, but it will work:
if (is_numeric($val) == FALSE || strlen($val) 8 || substr($val, 0,
3) !== 100)
{
// $val doesn't match
}
Conversely:
if (is_numeric($val) == TRUE strlen($val) == 8 substr($val, 0,
3) == 100)
{
// $val does match

(Code not tested, but you get the idea I hope)

Unless you want to allow something like '10064893A' to match, use:

which will have a value like:98797-234234--2c-something-2c
How do I take out the part which will always start with --2c and

by using () around the part you want to grab.
?php
$string = 98797-234234--2c-something-2c;
$pattern = /\d{5}-\d{6}--2c-(.*)-2c/;
preg_match($pattern, $string, $matches);

?

there's lots of those. google can help you find them. try regular

You could use preg_replaces, like so:
$result = preg_replace('/--2c.+-c/', '', $the_extention);
That matches anything between '--2c' and '-2c' and replaces it with ''.
You could also use preg_match, like so:
preg_match('/^(.+)--2c.+-c$/', $the_extention, $matches);
$matches[1] should contain the substring you need.

Thanks guys.
I did search on google first for a tutorial, problem is with something as
widely used as regular expressions
there are LOTS of results...I felt it would be better to ask if anyone has a
favourite..
ie:
if you learnt it off the web and not via the manual.
The last time I had this problem was with cookies and sessions, I found the
links I got from the people
on this list much better than the examples in the manual...after learning
from the web I did go back to the
manual and understood thing much better.
Cheers,
-Ryan

I know this is pretty easy to do but I am horrorable at working with
regular expressions and was wondering if anybody might take a min to
help please.
in that case you should get the regex coach (easy to find via google).
it's great!
I will have a variable: $the_extention
which will have a value like:98797-234234--2c-something-2c
How do I take out the part which will always start with --2c and
will always end with -2c
by using () around the part you want to grab.
?php
$string = 98797-234234--2c-something-2c;
$pattern = /\d{5}-\d{6}--2c-(.*)-2c/;
preg_match($pattern, $string, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?
A good baby steps tutorial on regex too would be appreciated.
there's
lots of those. google can help you find them. try
regular
expression tutorial or some variant of that.
hth,
chris.
p.s. i think you want extension not extention. :)

Seems like it should be easy. It is easy. I agree with whoever said string functions were a better solution, regexp is overkill unless there is more variaiton in the data than what was presented. That said, here are some possibilities; all but the first assume that the -- is always there: - If the lengths are constant just use substr to pull out the first 11 characters. - Find the -- with strpos and then use that in a substr call to take just the part to the left. - Use explode to separate the string at the -- or --2c. - For two numeric strings separated by a dash use a regexp approach something like this: if (preg_match(/^(\d*-\d*)--2c/, $string, $matches)) $left_part = $matches[1]; -- Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Regex help (SOLVED)
Hey Guys, Solved this, took your advise and avoided regex as its an overkill. Case you're interested: $th_var=98797-234234--2c-something-2c; $piece = explode(--2, $th_var); echo $piece[0]; (and if i want to use the second part... $piece[1] ) Thanks to everyone who gave me examples, links and suggested alternatives like explode(), but personally I thought explode too was a regex..:-(.
