ereg and me again ;)

Hello all,

last time, ereg specialists did help me, so I ask again:

base pattern: some texte her [a number between 1 and 100]
result: the number alone

So ? any idea ?

Assuming that I understood correctly - try if the following patterns
work for you:

for ereg():
'\[([0-9]+)]'

for preg_match() (preferred, more flexible and faster in most cases):
'#\[(\d+)]#'

If that's not enough post some more examples and the expected results.

Must it be ereg? Preg_* functions are better because they
support PCREs.

Between one and a hundred inclusive:

`.*?\[([1-9]\d?|100)\]`s

Anything is matched until a left square bracket. After
that, either a digit between one and nine followed by an
optional digit between zero and nine, or the number one
hundred, is captured. Then a right square bracket is
matched. The s pattern modifier makes the dot metacharacter
match newlines.

HAGS!

try this ereg: ([0-9]{1,2}|100)

-- BEGIN OF CODE - CUT HERE --
$delimiter = "\s";
preg_match("/$delimiter([0-9]{1,2}|100)$delimiter/", $your_text, $number);
echo "<pre>\n" . print_r($number, true) . "</pre>";
-- END OF CODE -- CUT HERE --
