[SOLVED] Regex code not working...

[ShadeSlayer]

I have a code that I'm using to replace this:

    Team Player (10 points): Complete a mission on coop mode. 

 

With this:

[adminbr][b]Team Player[/b] - [i]10 points[/i][adminbr][adminbr]

 

So I have the code there that does the job fine.. unless there are parenthesis elsewhere (eg. Team Player (10 points): Complete a mission on coop mode (not XBL).

 

Basically, one part of the replacement is taking an opening parenthesis tag and replacing it with the appropriate values, but then, it needs to be fixed for certain situations.

 

So I tried this:

 

$s = $_POST['string'];
$p[0] = "    ";
$r[0] = "[adminbr][adminbr][b]";
$p[1] = "): ";
$r[1] = "[/i][adminbr]";
$p[2] = "\\\"";
$r[2] = "\"";
$p[3] = "\'";
$r[3] = "'";
$str = str_replace($p, $r, $s); //, $string
$ereg = eregi_replace(" [\(]^[0-9]{1,3}$", "[/b] - [i]", $str);

echo $ereg;

 

Which says "replace " (###" with "[/b] - [i]" and it completely ignores the $ereg.

 

So I have a bit of a problem here that I need help with. Much appreciated.

You're missing a pair of delimiters for the Regex. Also, preg > eregi.

 

$ereg = preg_replace("#[\(]^[0-9]{1,3}$#i", "[/b] - [i]", $str);

Thanks for the help, but it still doesn't work.

There's a link to the script, the link at the top will show you all the code.

 

Only the first textbox has the code enabled, but it just ignores the preg_replace and outputs whatever the str_replace did.

[Ken2k7]

Oh oops, I didn't read your first post entirely.

 

Try this -

$match = preg_replace("#\s*(Team Player)\s*\((\d+)\s*points\).*$#", "[adminbr][b]$1[/b] - [i]$2[/i][adminbr][adminbr]", $str);

[ShadeSlayer]

That looks like it'll replace the whole string... I just want it to replace:

 

 (x

 

with

 

[/b] - [i]x

 

where x is between 1 and 3 numbers.

[Ken2k7]

Uh what do you mean x is between 1 and 3 numbers?

[ShadeSlayer]

[0-9]{1, 3}

[Ken2k7]

Oh sorry.

 

$match = preg_replace("#(\d{1,3})#i", "[/b] - [i]$1", $str);

Alright, I ended up making it work.

 

Thanks a bunch, now this will be a lot easier!
