Regex problem

[gunjanamit]

Hi,

 

I am looking for regex to extract following words from text:

 

The word which comes after "Replaced" means

 

Replaced disk

 

Replaced floppy

 

Replaced memory

 

Please suggest the regex for it.

 

Thanks!

Take a look at this example, or..... you want to be something else ?

<?php
$pattern = '/(?<=Replaced )(?=(\w+))/';
$str = 'Replaced disk, Replaced floppy, Replaced memory';
if(preg_match_all($pattern, $str,$matches)){
  echo '<pre>'.print_r($matches[1], true).'</pre>';
}
else {
    echo 'No match';
}
?>

Or the simpler, non-lookaround version of just

Replaced (\w+)

Thanks guys

 

I tried Replaced (\w+) but it is working when "replaced" is a first word of text.

 

But if the word is coming in middle of text then regex is not working.

 

Please suggest !!!

What do you mean ? Did you loop it ?

For example:

$newItems = array('computer','RAM', 'CD Rom');
$pattern = '/(?<=Replaced )(?=(\w+))/';
$str = 'Replaced disk, Replaced floppy, Replaced memory';
if(preg_match_all($pattern, $str,$matches)){
for($i=0;$i<count($newItems);$i++){
  $matches[1][$i] = $newItems[$i]; 
}
echo '<pre>'.print_r($matches[1], true).'</pre>';

}

But if the word is coming in middle of text then regex is not working.

Case matters. Do you perhaps want it to find "replaced" too?

[gunjanamit]

yes.. it is case sensitive

 

I have 2 records

 

1) Replaced hard disk immediately - Regex Working

 

2) I have to replace the hard disk - Regex not Working

 

 

Kindly suggest!!!
