Stephen Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 As I am not skilled in Regex, I am having trouble with this line of code. I use this: preg_match_all('/f_[a-zA-Z0-9]*_/', $string, $match); to locate the string (including f_ and _). For example, I have a function named f_get_value_ and f_set_value_ and I would like to locate these function names. However, when I do print_r($match[0]), it returns with: Array ( [0] => f_set_ [1] => f_get_ ) Obviously it is cutting it off at the first underscore it comes across (after f_) rather than what I want it to do (cut it off at the final underscore). I cannot guarantee that there will be only 1 underscore between the words (get/set_value). There could be 2, 3, 4, or more. I am looking for a regular expression that will accomplish this goal and I thank anyone who attempts to help.
