match string in html file

[playwright]

Is there a way to search in html file for a specific string and the same string plus some other content? For example:

abc.php?t=123 and also abc.php?t=123&page=2 and abc.php?t=123&page=3. Is there a regex that can do the job along with preg_match()?

Depends how rigidly you can actually define the requirement. Given the examples you have it's hard to say as you don't specify an example input, but you would match the first part with the pattern.

 

abc\.php\?t=123

 

Depending on how the 'links' are listed in your page you could then use something like....

 

[^"]*
// or
\S*

 

... to match the rest of the query_string. Effectvely giving you a pattern such as...

 

#abc\.php\?t=123[^"]*#

ok i will be more specific..the code is this one:

 

<a class="paginationLink" href="showthread.php?t=123&page=2"

title="Display results">2</a>

 

I want to be able to use a regex or something else so as to grab all href like this one (and also showthread.php?t=123&page=3 and showthread.php?t=123) and then use file_get_contents() to grab contents from all these files.

In which case the pattern I gave you should be right.

$pattern = '/(.+\.php\?t=\d+(?:.?&page=\d+)?)/';
