pattern matching

Hi,
I am new to php. I have text files each containing some metadata. I
would like to use preg_replace to remove some of the fields in each
text file. Some contents of a field can go over several lines. How can
I do it using preg_replace?

Thanks in advance
Ofuuzo

One of my weaknesses has always been pattern matching. Something I definitely need to study up on and maybe you guys can give me a pointer here. I'm looking to remove all of this code and just use pattern matching to determine if the proper amount of numeric characters has been met. Here is the function I've already done. Any help you can give in a pattern matching solution would be much appreciated and very educational.

I have a table that stores a list of zip codes using a varchar column type, and I need to perform some string prefix pattern matching search. Let's say that I have the columns: 94000-1235 94001 94100 If I run a pattern matching search for the string "940", then I should get the top two rows of data back. If I run a pattern matching search for the string "94", then I should get all the three rows of data back.

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
