PHP and Regex

[mark babli]

Hello,

if I extracted a string from a file ( ="test"; )
How can I extract the word test from here. Sorry if this is not related to
php (rather regular expression) but, I'll appreciate any help.

That's too general of a question. Do you want to extract alpha
character found within the quotes, or can it look differently? To
answer your question:


#!/usr/bin/php
<?
$string = '( ="test"; )';
preg_match("/\( =\"(\w+)\"; \)/", $string, $m);
print $m[1];
?>

Output: test

Then it should be even easier:

preg_match('/"(.*)"/U', $string, $m); // Not tested
