[SOLVED] Extract Text Between <b></b> Tags

[phoenixx]

Okay, I know I just need to use preg_match_all but there's no output.

 

Here's what I'm trying to extract.  Let's say the tag on the page is

<td width="230"><b>T665</b>

 

I just want to extract the "T665" using preg_match_all

 

echo "Getting Series Number<br>";

$data = file_get_contents("http://www.pagenamehere.php");

preg_match_all('%<b>.*?</b>|.)*?</b>%si', $data, $result, PREG_SET_ORDER);

echo $result[0];

How did you come up with that regex search string?

[nrg_alpha]

$str = ' blah blah blah <td width="230">T665</td> blah blah blah
         blah blah blah <td width="765">T999</td> blah blah blah';
preg_match_all('#<td[^>]*>(\w)+</td>#', $str, $matches);
foreach($matches[0] as $val){
   echo $val . '<br />';
}

 

This of course assumes you close your td tag after your 'T665'...(since after your initial <td> tag, you only list T665 and nothing else). It's a very stripped down simple example to help get you started. (I used \w incase you mix numbers, undersacores and letters (both lower and uppercase)). Of course, if you need dashes or anything ele you need to reflect that in the parathesis.

Many Thanks.  After a day and a half of no sleep... I'm surprised I even remember how to find my computer, let alone how to use it.
