preg_match_all question

dr4296

Greetings All!

I'm trying to use preg_match_all to match everything within a pagefull of data that starts with a "ps(" and ends with a ");"

There will be multiple lines of data that should match this. In other words, I'll have several rows, each starting with a "ps(" and ending with a ");" within the variable "$code".

I wanted to check my syntax, as I always have problems with syntax when I try to use preg_match - like functions.

Would it be:

preg_match_all("/ps((.*?));/si",$code, $rows_found_on_page);

Thanks!!

no do it this way

preg_match_all( "^ps\\[a-zA-z0-9]+\\a$",$code, $rows_found_on_page );

that wont work, xlordt.

firstly, there are no pattern delimiters.
then, the pattern doesnt fit the requirements.

I'm not sure if the given pattern will work either, maybe one should remove the question mark within the subpattern (etc), but it probably comes closer, at least.
