[SOLVED] how to make [^.....] for sting instead for chars...


Recommended Posts

How to make my regexp to catch the following strings:

<A class="classname" href="http://domain/subfolders">some text <BR /> more text</A>

<A href="http://domain/subfolders" class=classname>some text <BR /> more text</A>

<A href="http://domain/subfolders" class="classname">some text more text</A>

 

but not to catch the following:

<A class="classname" href="http://domain/subfolders">some text more text</A>more text</A>

 

 

to catch the first 3 strings i tried this:

'@<a[^>]*classname[^>]*>.+</a>@i'

 

Unfortunately it catches the second one too. I cannot figure it how to replace .+ so <br /> (or any other tag) to pass except  </a> tag.

but not to catch the following:

<A class="classname" href="http://domain/subfolders">some text more text</A>more text</A>

 

What do you mean by "not to catch the following", do you not wish the "more text </a>" part to be captured? Also you do realise that isn't valid HTML anyway?!

 

Simply making the last part of your pattern lazy will stop the "more text</A>" part matching.

 

'@<a[^>]*classname[^>]*>.+?</a>@i'
