wildcard in aray?

[blueman378]

hi guys, well im modifying a file and it has this in it:

$projectsListIgnore = array ('.','..','images');

 

what im also wanting to do is have it so it excludes any that start with "Copy of" so for example i have

hello

Copy of hello

hello2 Copy of

images

another folder

 

at the moment i would get

hello

Copy of hello

hello2 Copy of

another folder

 

when what i acctually want is

hello

hello2 Copy of

another folder

 

get the idea?

 

cheers matt

I didn't quiet understand, but maybe this is what your looking for

 

preg_replace('{^(Copy Of | copy of)}','',$string)

 

Don't even know if thats good, I am pretty bad with regex

[blueman378]

well basically there is some code which lists some prjects, based upon some directorys, andway it reads from this array

$projectsListIgnore = array ('.','..','images');

and anything in that array is not printed basically, it works fine with static things

but i need it to also not print anything that Starts with Copy of (backup folders and dont want them showing up)

so im looking for something like

$projectsListIgnore = array ('.','..','images','Copy of *);

 

but obviously it doesnt work

[phpSensei]

then do this

 

<?php

$string = "Copy Of Folder";
$projectsListIgnore = array ('.','..','images');
$string = preg_replace('/^(Copy Of | copy of)(.+)/','',$string);
?>

 

I guess the * you were looking for was (.+) using regex

You know what, where did the site go itself? I keep trying to visit www.phpfreaks.com and it redirects me to the forums, weird things are going on with the updates. Topic Solved button was removed for the time being due to some update a while back. It should be back up soon, no worries
