REGEX formula.

[wren9]

Hi i know this is very simple for REGEX old timer.

I have this link below,

<a href="http://domain.org/tlg/1188777994.html">MANAGER NEEDED</a>

All i want is to get the text "MANAGER NEEDED" from that link.

I've been formulating for hours now and i'm completely lost i guess.

Anyone would to show the REGEX for this?

thanks in advance.

I'm going to assume that the name of the html file might be different every time.

<?php

$x = "<a href=\"http://domain.org/tlg/1188777994.html\">MANAGER NEEDED</a>";

preg_match("/<a href=\"http:\/\/domain\.org\/tlg\/[0-9]+\.html\">([^<]+)<\/a>/",$x,$regs);

echo $regs[1];

?>

Thanks again in advance.

$file = fopen("http://www.example.com/", "r");
$buffer = "";
while (!feof($file)) { $buffer .= fread($file, 8192); }
fclose($file);
echo $buffer;

or

$homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');

wren: why dont you use the RSS feed for that craigslist stuff? itll be MUCH easier to use than regex scraping html pages
