Jerred121 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 So just when I think i'm getting the hang of REGEX, I realize that I suck still and I can't get this simple extraction to work... I want to extract the temp and the method separately: Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => temp: 35.20c / 95.36f - axillary [1] => temp: 35.20c / 95.36f [2] => temp: 35.20c / 95.36f - oral ) [1] => Array ( [0] => 35.20c / 95.36f [1] => 35.20c / 95.36f [2] => 35.20c / 95.36f ) [2] => Array ( [0] => axillary [1] => [2] => oral ) I'm even embarrassed to post my sorry pattern, but I'm sure you guys can figure it out. As always, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerred121 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Sorry, looks like I forgot to include a sample of the data: temp: 35.20c / 95.36f - axillary temp: 35.20c / 95.36f temp: 35.20c / 95.36f - oral As you can see the " - method" is optional.

AbraCadaver Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Might be an easier way, but here is one: preg_match_all('#^temp: ([^ ]*) / ([^- ]*)(?: - (.*))?$#m', $s, $m); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
