Weird Regex question

[Ortix]

Sorry for such a bad title, i'm not sure how i can describe this problem 

 

So here's the thing:

 

I have this string:

[sHiN-Remux][MSPN-SUBS] Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai - 01 [1280x720 h.264 AAC][FB36073E].mkv

 

I want it to look like this:

Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai 01 

 

Currently it looks like this:

Ore 01

 

The reason is that I am using regular expressions and other functions to filter out the stuff i don't need. Most of my strings come in this form:

 

Titleoftheshow - 01

 

Which is totally fine since this does work.

 

Rarely do they appear like this:

title-of-theshow - 01

or even this (which makes things more complicated)

 title - of - the - show - 01

 

Now the problem is that after the FIRST dash, everything is deleted. How could i escape all the dashes in that are in between letters and only remove the dash that's between a letter and a NUMBER.

 

Daunting task eh? I have tried several things but i just can't come up with a solution.

$subject = '[sHiN-Remux][MSPN-SUBS] Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai - 01 [1280x720 h.264 AAC][FB36073E].mkv';
$result = trim(preg_replace('/(\[[^\]]+\]|\.mkv)/i', '', $subject));
echo $result;

outputs this:

Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai - 01

Not sure how you are getting the extra () unless something has been added, I get

Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai - 01

[Ortix]

whoops sorry about that. not sure where that came from but yeah. I would like to get

 

Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai 01

 

Without the dash between the Nai and 01

 

I put that in my initial post

 

Maybe it can be done by finding the dash between a string and a number? Or perhaps the last instance of that character in the string?

Just put

$result = str_replace('-', ' ', $result);

After the preg_replace line

Yep that's it
