Creating CSS file for group of PHP files

[amites]

Hello,

 

I'm rather new to writing Regex and have a simple request,

 

what I have is a collection of scripts that I wrote rather quickly, now the scripts work and place things inside of different div boxes and other class and id definitions,

 

however I Haven't created a css file to format everything and I'd like to create a function to parse a folder searching for all class names matching

 

class="[class name]"

 

and id names matching

 

id="[id name]"

 

then run that group through a foreach loop to write to a css file

 

.[class name] {

}

 

#[id name] {

}

 

I can handle the opening the directory, and parsing the array once it's been built from preg_match_all though building the regex query itself is giving me some trouble, probably has to do with the 15 hour day I've pulled so far *heh*

 

any help is appreciated

Do you have access to Unix and Perl? This would give you a listing to work from:

 

find . -type f -exec perl -n -e 'print "$1|$2\n" if /\b(class|id)="([^"]+)/' {} \; | sort -u

 

If not, you can still borrow the expression.

I was planning on building this into a php function and running it on my computer,

 

if it works probably release it open source, seems like a simple way to save some time when building larger projects,

 

not have to deal with tracking CSS classes and ID's just using good labels

 

I'll see how that works
