Hi all there,
I have already tried asking for help a couple of days ago.
I try to rephrase better my problem:
I need to grab a webpage that looks like this:
<td width=80 align=center valign=top><a href="<link that should not be
grabbed by the pattern>" id=r><img src=image.jpg width=66 height=79
alt="" border=1><br><f ont size=-2>Bla Bla text</font></a></td><td
valign=top><a href="<link that should be grabbed by the pattern>"
id=r>Bla bla text</a><br>
I need to distinguish this string:
"<td valign=top><a href...."
by the string
"<td width=80 align=center valign=top><a href...."
I need to match the first and not the second string.
I tried this pattern:
$r = "%<td valign=top><a href=\"([^>]+?)\"(.*?)>%";
but it does not return any result, while the pattern:
$r = "%<a href=\"([^>]+?)\"(.*?)>%";
matches both the strings, of course.
Called function: $match_count = preg_match_all ($r, $pdata, $items);
Can Anyone help, please?
Thanks a lot.

I don’t believe you can put space in regex patter. Use "\s"
instead. Once that fixed, maybe it works. I did not look further,
but saw that problem.

Not sure if you need to use preg match for what you're trying unless
there's more than one pattern ypou're looking to grab.
why not just grab between start and end positions if the rest of the
code will always be static.
$start= strpos($data, '</font></a></td><td valign=top><a href="');
$finish= strpos($data, "id=r>");
$length= $finish-$start;
$code=Substr($d ata, $start, $length );
echo $code;
Hi Steve, hi all,
The spaces worked. I don't know what went wrong there. Someone sent me
a sample code that I applied and worked ok for me. I have also not
managed to go back to the not working situation surely. So it could
have also been something else.
Thanks all
Fabian

Determining the pattern below has got my stumped.
I have a page of HTML and need to find all occurrences of the following
pattern:
score=9999999999&
The number shown can be 5-10 characters in length. I would like to extract
only the number, stripping off the "score=" and "&".

I'm wondering if someone can explain why the following works with
preg_match_all, but not preg_match:
$html = "product=3456789&"
preg_match_all ("|product=(\d{5,10})&|i", $html, $out);
$out = 3456789
preg_match ("|product=(\d{5,10})&|i", $html, $out);

I know this is possible (because preg can do almost anything!), but can't
get a handle on the syntax.
I have an HTML string:
<font size="3"><a
href="http://www.example.com?product=3456789&company=3528">
Mickey Mouse</a></font><br><img width="200" height="200" border="0"
src="http://www.example.com/images/3456789.jpg"><b>$8.00</b>

The following pattern (which is one subpattern in a string of several) looks
for the following
$xxx,xxx.xx (with the dollar sign)
or
xxx,xxx.xx (space in replace of missing dollar sign)
It works great WITHOUT a ? quantifier

Hello,
I'm putting together a php webpage which is parsing my (.html)

My question is:
How can I make a function that counts and strores the number of

For example: the "<DT><H3>php</H3>" (see the html sample underneath)

i'm starting with a string such as "Na**3C**6H**5O**7*2H**20"
im attempting to match all **\d+ ...once i can match all the double
asterix \d i intend to wrap the \d in "<sub>" tags for display
purposes.
i have been trying to write the correct pattern for 2 weeks now without
any success...i can get preg_replace() to work, with several simple
patterns but when i use preg_match_all, i either get unintended results
or incomplete matches.

Hello, as a newbie I'm requesting some help in understanding the regular
expression below
preg_match_all("|<tr(.*)</tr>|U",$table,$rows);
Would anybody please just run through ("|<tr(.*)</tr>|U" from left to right
and tell me what it means?
Thanks

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
