rajivgonsalves Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 you can try this for the <?php $check="front street Unique historical building Office Space - 1925 square foot + Call xxx-xxx-xxxx (18 Nov 2007) (xxx) xxxxxxx, - City Province Neighborhood Distance "; preg_match("/[\ ]+([\w\d]+)[\ ]+([\w\d]+)[\ ]+([\w\d]+)[\ ]+([\w\d]+)\ $/i",$check,$arrMatches); print_r($arrMatches); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81632-solved-to-cut-a-string-with-referance-and-get-the-location/#findComment-414675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchelkumar Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 But rajiv .... I tried it with the example you provide... It works perfect... But my problem is my data ie $check is coming from database dynamically.... the format is same in last four cases...(City Province Neighborhood Distance), The format before that may differ... Sometimes that "-" replaces "$123" or "$123/month"... is there any idea for get that last four words...

chanchelkumar Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Rajiv, Thanks... The new code is also working.... i want to cut the data in to two... Say the (City Province Neighborhood Distance) in to a string ... This will always come at the end... is any method for that? this will come after..("-" or "$123" or "$123/month").. I tried with explode ("-",$check)... But not working properly..
