preg_replace

[codingmasterRS]

So I want to use PHP and preg_replace to delete all contents of a string between "/*" and "*/".

 

$file = file_get_contents('fg.menu.css');
echo preg_replace('', $file);

 

just need to know what to put between the '' in preg_replace

 

Thanks in advance

Depends upon the rules and what can be in between the /* and */ and other things but this is a simple one:

 

echo preg_replace('#/\*(.*)?\*/#s', '', $file);

[codingmasterRS]

anything can be between  /* and */

 

would you be able to alter your same based on the above condition

[AbraCadaver]

Did you try your inputs on what I posted?

[codingmasterRS]

it needs to do for anything between /* and */

[AbraCadaver]

it needs to do for anything between /* and */

OK, and what is not working???  Give an input, expected result and actual result.

.nav-menu .horizontal-divider hr { border:0; height:1px; }
.nav-menu .horizontal-divider span { font-size:.9em; text-transform: uppercase; padding-left:.2em; }

 

 

So it should remove all the comments (the stuff between /* and */)

 

Then it needs to get all the stuff between { and } and number to an array relative to their tag, so:

.nav-menu-container = $tag[1]

and

position: absolute; top:0; left:-999px; padding: .4em;  overflow: hidden; = $contents[1]

 

etc

Despite the obnoxious bumping, here is workable code:

 

$file = file_get_contents('fg.menu.css');
$file = preg_replace('#/\*.*?\*/#s', '', $file);

preg_match_all('#(\b[^{]+){[^}]+}#', $file, $tag);
$tag = $tag[1];

preg_match_all('#{([^}]+)}#', $file, $content);
$content = $content[1];

print_r($tag);
print_r($content);

[codingmasterRS]

Thanks, but this is getting rid of the "." or "#" at the beginning of the tag

 

otherwise all good, so if we can just fix this one problem
