Help with regular expressions that include new lines

[insomnomaniac]

Hi All,

 

I'm new to regex and need some help. I'm trying to parse through a web page to find all the strings below that are separated by new lines:

 

    <h3 class="listing-price">
        
            
                $21,555
            

            
        

        
    </h3>

 

$pattern = 'XXX';
preg_match_all($pattern, $content, $output);

 

Thanks!

What do you want, the dollar amount?

 

The 's' modifier will treat the string as one long string / ignores new lines (if my terminology is correct).

 

$pattern = '~class="listing-price">(.*)</h3>~isU';

 

May give you what you are after, not really sure as you did not specify your expected output..

use the multiline modifier in your regex pattern

 

$pattern = "/XXX/m"

 

the m is the modifier, it goes after the delimiters (the slashes)

Sorry about that...Yes, I'm trying to get the dollar amount without the '$' symbol. So in my example I'm trying get '21,555'. Your pattern works but it includes the '$' with a space in front of it. Thanks!

You couldn't figure out the new pattern? el sigh.

 

$pattern = '~class="listing-price">.*\$(.*)</h3>~isU';

Thank you sir!

The 's' modifier will make the . (dot) match newlines.
