regex Error with preg_replace()

[dsaba]

i get this error:

 

Warning: preg_replace(): Compilation failed: missing terminating ] for character class at offset 8 on line 53

 

here is a snippet of problem code:

$constant = strtolower(add_underscores($searchfor));
	$constantized = concactenate($constant); //makes: '.Hello_World.'
	if (strpos($source_code, $searchfor_slashes) != FALSE) {
	$source_code = str_replace($searchfor_slashes, $constantized, $source_code);
	$source_code = preg_replace('/[^\\]\'\.?/', '', $source_code); // line 53
	//$source_code = str_replace("''.", "", $source_code);
	$source_code = str_replace(".''", "", $source_code);
	echo 'Concactenated: <b>'.$constant.'</b> in <em>'.$file.'</em>';
	echo 'finished if space was two in '.$file.'<br>';

 

 

anyone know how to fix this error? i dont understand i've used this regex several times before and have never gotten this error until now, very odd indeed...

Just looking at the regex.

---------------------------

"/[^\\]'\.?/"

try using Double quote instead of Single quote

Can you send a string what you wanna match ??

[MadTechie]

you mean

/[^\]\\'\.?/

 

$source_code = preg_replace('/[^\]\\'\.?/im', '', $source_code);

 

IM for case and linematch

[dsaba]

i don't get your reply mad

but this is wrong look at the highlighting

 

$source_code = preg_replace('/[^\]\\'\.?/im', '', $source_code);

[MadTechie]

true, should of tested, try this

<?php
$source_code = preg_replace("/[^\]\\'\.?/im", '', $source_code);
?>

[dsaba]

still get same error, wiht double quotes on original regex and with the new one

[MadTechie]

$source_code = preg_replace("/[^\\\]\'\.?/", '', $source_code); // line 53
