simple regex help

[dkhakh]

I want to get all the whitespaces in my string. here is the format of my string

"string<space>=string<space>#string<\n>"

this is what i tried to do but ofcourse it did not work

$result = preg_split("/#|=| /", "name     =abcd   #132542")  

i want my result to look like this

$result[0] = name

$result[1] = (whitespace between name and =) not just one space  but whatever the actual whitepace is

$result[2] = abcd

$result[3] = (whitespace between abcd and #)

$result[4] = 132542

 

thanks for any help

Try:

$result = preg_split("/#|=|\s/", "name     =abcd   #132542")

 

"\s" is used for matching whitespace.
