preg_split

[dcjones]

Hi,

I have looked at what seems like hundreds of post relating to this subject but I have not found a solution.

I have a variable that contains a string (all in UPPERCASE) and the last three chars are surounded by (), like (EMA). the original sting would look like NOTTINGHAM/EAST MIDLANDS (EMA).

I am trying to code an preg_split so I can get the EMA in to a var. So far I have and yes its not working.

$keywords = preg_split("/[\s()]+/", "NOTTINGHAM/EAST MIDLANDS (EMA)");

Can anyone help with this.

If this is really the format then you do not need regular expressions. You just extract based on index.
