I want to read out several strings from an HTML (text) file, like
everything between "<h2>" and "</h2>" to create a table-of-contents
(also, things other than tags).
I do have a function but it's slow, and sometimes doesn't finish for
larger files (600K, not much really!).
Now what would be a nice function to do this job? I suppose some regex
with preg_match_all?
It should have a parameter telling which occurrence of the string
should be used, e.g. the second, third and so on.
------------
Like:
function getTextBetween($allText, $textBefore, $textAfter, $offset = 0)
{
// ?
}
Then I could say:
$s = getTextBetween("<h2>foo</h2><p>Hello World</p><h2>bar</h2>",
"<h2>", "</h2>", 1);
echo $s; // ... would be "bar"
------------
Any help greatly appreciated! 4 2679

I would use a combination of explode :
explode( "<h2>", "<h2>foo</h2><p>Hello World</p><h2>bar</h2>")
and for each element explode( "</h2>", element)

Kinda like this then...
function getTextBetween($allText,$textBefore,$textAfter,$of fset=0){
$pattern='#'.$textBefore.'(.*)'.$textAfter.'#iU';
preg_match_all($pattern, $allText,$matches);
return $matches[1][$offset];
}

{
preg_match_all('/'.preg_quote($opener).'(.+)'.preg_quote($closer).'/mU', $alltext, $allmatches);
if ((count($allmatches) > 0) and (array_key_exists(1, $allmatches)))
{ return $allamtches[1]; }
else { return array(); }
}
Then doing
$myanswers = getTextDelims(.....
$myanswers[1] contains offset 1, etc
If you want to make the matches case-insensitive, change '/mU' to '/mUi'

Thanks to that solution, and the other ones as well (I merged two
together). Works very nice. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
