Firstly,
If your text spans more than one line you should use
\n, rather than just doing something like :
a href=\
hello\...(.*)/a
because that will mess up, depending on what text
editor you use, eg. notepad will put \r\n, but it
should only be \n. Though I'm not sure about it.
So the best solution is :
a href=\\nhell\...(.*)/a
Now that said, let's look into your problem, you
mention you want one common regex that does both of
them. That would be tideous enough to let be, instead
using two distinct regex checks would be easier, and
faster.
So :
eregi('para font-size=12 font-family=Arial
style=heading 2(.*)anchor
type=bkmrk/(.*)/para', $string, $matches);
would store Some in $matches[1], more text- in
$matches[2].
eregi('para font-size=12 font-family=Arial
style=heading 2inline
caps=false(.*)/inline(.*)/para', $string,
$datex);
would store Some text in $datex[1], more text in
$datex[2]
Now if you want to know which one to execute, just do
a
if(eregi('inline caps=false', $input_string)) {
execute_this_Regex();
}
It should be faster this way, and an even more
efficient solution can be using Perl Regex.

Subject: [PHP] Regex help appreciated
I am trying to get a regex to extract the Some and
more text
between the para elements below in a single pass for
style attribute of
heading 2
para font-size=12 font-family=Arial
style=heading 2Someanchor
type=bkmrk/more text-/para
para font-size=12 font-family=Arial
style=heading 2inline
caps=falseSome text/inlinemore text/para
Tried something like this for first bit but grabbing
the anchor tag
with the text.
|para(.*)style=\heading
2\(([a-zA-Z0-9/-/_/\s]+)?)([anchor
type=bkmrk name=[a-zA-Z0-9/_]+/])?(.*)/para|
Help much appreciated.
Thanx
