I'm inputting a text file containing html which will contain this:
<a href="/q?s=IBM&d=t">IBM</a></font></td><td nowrap align=center> <font face=arial size=-1>2:59pm</font></td> <td nowrap><font face=arial size=-1> <b>76.17</b></font></td><td nowrap>
I need to be able to match this string via a variable. I would like to put everything from the "<a href>" to the "<td nowrap>" into a variable so I can parse it later. I think I can do that bit on my own.
So I "borrowed" some code from another source, but I need an algorithm that will match the above chunk of html.
I give it the name:
$name = "IBM";
and it matches everything from the "<a href>" to the "<td nowrap>".
if (preg_match("/ <a href> part using $name(.*?)<td nowrap>/", $line, $out)) {
$title = $out[1];
break;
}
}
echo "$title";I can't figure out how to escape all the parts of: <a href="/q?s=$name&d=t">
Do the other parts look okay?
