[Resolved] reg. expr: Match all except space..

[leatherback]

Hi All,

I am trying to build a regular expression which will match all characters, except for a space. (I am trying to find something like: bla blabl something_like_line1($sixtycents)😉

So the space is a delimiter, after which I search for the (. But do not want it to match 'blabl '

I now have:

preg_match("#( .{1,})(\()(.{0,})(\))(.{0,})#", $line, $matches);

Which I would like to return, in one of the $matches[]:
'something_like_line1'

Any advice is very welcome!

Hi,

try this one:

preg_match("/(\\S*)\\(.*\\)/",$line,$matches);

Yeah, \S is PCRE for "not a whitespace character" (the opposite of \s!).

Thanks!

That worked.
