Garethp Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ok, so I want to be able to replace all instances of "[--M[0-9]--]" into $M[0-9]. For example "This is [--M[4]--] something to be [--M[1]--] matched [--M[0]--]." would become "This is " . $M[4] . " something to be " . $M[1] . " matched " . $M[0] . "."; At the moment I have $NewName = preg_replace("~\[--(M\[[0-9]+\])--\]~", $\\1, $Rename); But I've also tried "~\[--M\[([0-9]+)\]--\]~", $M[\\1] and "~\[--M\[([0-9]+)\]--\]~", "$M[\\1]" Anyway, for my current code, I'm getting error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NS_SEPARATOR, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.1\www\Rename.php on line 18 Where line 18 is the one with the preg_replace. Has anyone got any solutions to what I'm after? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193221-turning-string-m1-into-variable-m1/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAY6390 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 $M = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10); $text = 'This is [--M[4]--] something to be [--M[1]--] matched [--M[0]--].'; $regex = '/\[--(M\[\d+\])--\]/e'; $out = preg_replace($regex, '$\\1', $text); echo $out; Output: This is 5 something to be 2 matched 1.

cags Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Is $M an independent array from which you wish to insert the 4th item from into the string?

Garethp Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 $M = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10); $text = 'This is [--M[4]--] something to be [--M[1]--] matched [--M[0]--].'; $regex = '/\[--(M\[\d+\])--\]/e'; $out = preg_replace($regex, '$\\1', $text); echo $out; Output: This is 5 something to be 2 matched 1. Thanks, this is exactly what I needed. And yes Cags, it is. I have a whole bunch of cbr files (comic boks) that aren't named the way I want. So I made a script to rename a folder of them at a time to the kind of style that I wanted. This was just a way of making it easier to adjust the Search and Replace method Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193221-turning-string-m1-into-variable-m1/#findComment-1022011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
