this is my string #image,100#

 

i cant find anything to negate /#image.*#/ regexp, so im thinking its the wrong way to go about it, do i really need regex in this ?

 

split the string by ,

 

strip off #image

and #

 

actualy if i can negate  regexp /#image.*#/

 

i can then split the result by ,

[nadeemshafi9]

this is my string #image,100, 200, baseline#

maybe

 

/[^#image.*#]/

or

 

/[^#image].*[#]/

 

split(",",result)

[nadeemshafi9]

or

 

/#image?!.*#?!/

I take it it always says #image then? You could simply use trim to remove the hashes then explode on the comma. But if you want to use Regular Expressions then something like...

 

~^#image,(\d{3})#~

 

That of course assumes the 100 is always a 3 digit number. You can modify that accordingly.

/^#image(.*)#$/

the string 

background-image: url(#picture,100,100#);

the regex

preg_match("~[#picture],.*[#]~", $html, $result);

print_r($result);

the result

Array ( [0] => e,100,100# ) 


what i expect

Array ( [0] => 100,100) 

 

help plzzz

[nadeemshafi9]

preg_match("/#picture(.*)#/", $html, $result);
Array ( [0] => #picture,100,100# [1] => ,100,100 ) 

got it !!!!

#picture(.*)#

should be

 

#picture,(.*?)#

or

better still

#picture,(\d+,\d+)#

 

but if you want to match all of these

#picture,100#
#picture,100,100#
#picture,100,100,100#
#picture,100,100,100,100#
etc etc etc

then this would be better

#picture,(\d+(?:,\d+)*)#
