laanes Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Can anyone help me to figure out a pattern that matches all the underlined zn's ? mnzertainlyzn cznar availznable in zn finznish zn / zn, zn/zn zn umzn:) I tried this: '#\s?zn\s?#' This is close to what i expect but matches also the ones contained inside words which i don't want.

fugix Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 for that line of text there you would want /\/?|\s?[zn]/ Edit: revised the code, and of course you can use whatever delimiters you'd like Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239020-pattern-to-match-zn-not-contained-in-a-word/#findComment-1228118 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugix Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Not quite right. Using \b as a word boundary, /\bzn/ Nice, didn't even think of using a word boundary for some reason.

JAY6390 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm guessing you'd want it to not match znasdsfs but the above will, so using a second word boundary after it will solve it /\bzn\b/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239020-pattern-to-match-zn-not-contained-in-a-word/#findComment-1228149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
