Hi all, I would like to match a string variable in a longer string retreiveing the match plus 5 extra characters at each side of the match. This what I mean:
$var = 'something'; $line = 'SDFGHAsomethingWDFTsft'; and, I would like to get in a new variable the string 'DFGHAsomethingWDFTs'. Any help in doing this will be very appreciated.
