vhaxu Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm trying to figure out how to extract 'something' while x is something that is all over the page. I have no experience with regex, and I tried to figure this out, but it's really hard and I guess I'm stupid. <meta property="x" content="something" /> Can someone help me with this code please?

ZachMEdwards Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Quick explanation of that pattern: <meta property="x" content="([^"]+)" /> Match the characters “<meta property="x" content="” literally Match the regular expression below and capture its match into backreference number 1 «([^"]+)» Match any character that is NOT a “"” «[^"]+» Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy) «+» Match the characters “" />” literally Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204536-simple-regex-help/#findComment-1072231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
