I'm trying to compose a general purpose text snip expression to extract
a text segment from a string.
Should this work for all reasonable cases? It seems to work for several
test strings.
$start= str1;
$end= str2;
preg_match (|$start (.*) ? $end |i,
If I have multiple instances that match the pattern, but only want the
first one, which is the best way to handle it?
Putting the U flag seems to work, but I don't understand the full
implications of using it here.
preg_match(|$start(.*?)$end |Ui, $contents, $text);
Alternatively, I could use
