regular expressions

[Gandalf]

OK i have for example this string "hello my name is : yehuda hello my
brother name is yehuda"

Now I would like to split it in to array

so if I'll just use this:

preg_match_all( "/hello.+yehuda/s", $data, $out, PREG_PATTERN_OR DER);

the function will use only the last yehuda as my splitter and keep the
string/

so how do i express string which shouldn't contain other string?



thanks

Gandalf nous disait :

preg_match_all( "/hello.+yehuda/s", $data, $out, PREG_PATTERN_OR DER);
so how do i express string which shouldn't contain other string?

Try to limit the action of your + with +? like this : /hello.+?yehuda/

If you want to split the string into an array at each space then use
`explode':

You may want to take a look at http://www.troubleshooters.com/codec...rl/perlreg.htm.
It should give you a better understanding of regex's. You should find
your answer here.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do, exactly. It sounds
like you might want preg_split, though. If you could post an example
of what you do want, it might help.
