Regular Expression

[ATLien]

Hello, I am not very good with regular expressions, so I was wondering if someone could write some code that will:

<!-- Being Logged_in -->

I want a regular expression that will find the above even if the Logged_in varible is something else. It will only be letters upper/lower case and underscores.

Thanks.

Assuming there's a file called woo.txt with that string somewhere inside. You could do this:

<?php

$woo = file_get_contents('woo.txt');

ereg("<!-- Being (.*) -->", $woo, $yay);

echo $yay[0];

?>

That would return the first result found. Have fun.

Eeeewww! Ereg functions = bad! Preg functions = good!

$pattern = '/<!-- [a-z_]+? -->/i';
// $pattern will work with any preg_ function

EDIT: Read my next post!

Slight fix to bradgrafelman's pattern:

/<!-- [a-z_]+? -->/i

sighs My attempt to beat ereg... fizzled!

As Weedpacket pointed out, I forgot the '+' (pattern should repeat 1 or more times) and the '?' (non-greedy character? what's the actual name for this? lol) characters in my pattern. Bad me!
