[SOLVED] Array Wildcard

[iceblox]

Hi All,

 

I have a replacement script which uses this line to replace data that it matches within a csv file.

 

"£95.00 upfront cash back." => "0", 

 

Is there anyway of changing 95.00 for a wild card? so that i dont have to add every monerty value in?

A wild guess:

 

$moneyValue." upfront cash back." => "0",

Yes, with regular expressions and preg_replace():

 

<?php
//$file contains file contents as a string

$find = array(
'~£[0-9]{1,2}\.[0-9]{2} upfront cash back\.~'
);
$replace = array(
'0'
);
$file = preg_replace($find, $replace, $file);
?>

 

Instead of searching for 95.00 it searches for 1-2 digits, a dot, and then 2 digits. To search for e.g. 1-3 digits before the dot, use {1,3} instead of {1,2} in the code.

Thanks for the help.

 

I have the rest of the script working in terms of replacements. So would this code work?

 

Based on your example..?

 

"~£[0-9]{1,2}\.[0-9]{2} upfront cash back\.~" => "0",

Show me your code, and I'll tell you how to integrate it. My code only works when run through preg_replace(), and my guess is you're using str_replace().

my code is quite long.. but your right it is str_replace
