Re: [PHP] Splitting a string ...
Here is the regex for you.
$company_domain = '\w+'; // replace with your own company domain pattern.
$user_name = '\w+'; // replace with your own username pattern
$email_domain = '\w+\.\w{2,4}'; // google for standard domain name
regex pattern and replace it.
$regexp =
~({$company_domain}[/])?(?Pusername$user_name)(@$email_domain)?~;
preg_match($regexp, $text, $matches);
print_r($matches); // $matches['username'] will contain username.

[PHP] Splitting a string ...
I'm not a regexp person (wish I was though), and I'm hoping someone can give me a hand here. Consider the following strings: - domain\usern...@example.org - domain\username - the same as above but with / instead of \ (hey, it happens) - usern...@example.org - username Essentially I have a sign-up form where folks will be typing in their username. The problem is, in our organization, when you tell someone to enter their username, it could end up being any of the above examples because they're used to a domain log in procedure where in some cases they type the whole thing, in other cases just the e-mail, or sometimes just the username. So what I'd like is a way to capture just the 'username' part, regardless of what other pieces they put in. In the past I would write a rather inefficient split() routine and eventually get what I need. With split() getting deprecated, I figured I may as well start looking into how to do it properly. There's preg_split(), str_split(), explode() . possibly others. So, what's the proper way to do this? How can I capture just the part I need, regardless of how they typed it in? Thanks! A

?php
$inputs = array(
// double slashes just due to escaping in literal strings
domain\\usern...@example.org,
domain\\username,
domain/usern...@example.org,
domain/username,
usern...@example.org,
username,
);
foreach ($inputs as $input) {
// four slashes = two slashes in the actual regexp!
preg_match(#^(?:.*[/])?([...@]*)(?:@.*)?$#, $input, $match);
var_dump($match[1]);
}
?
... just off the top of my head, probably could be done better than this.
I would recommend reverse engineering the given regexp to find out what
it's doing exactly ... painstaking but worth it to go through it char by char,
it might be the start of a glorious regexp career :)

What I need to do is to take the file name which is output using the getProp() function and then remove the file extension from the end of the file for example: Original name held in the getProp() array [name] word_doccument.docx I need to put this into a string such as $filename = $props['name']; I then need to separate the file name from the file extension.

The most straightforward way would be to use the pathinfo() function. ?php $file = 'word_document.docx'; $extension = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION); $name = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_FILENAME); ? See http://php.net/pathinfo for more information about that function. You could also explode() it and do something with that, or you could or use some of the other many string manipulation functions. I think pathinfo() is easiest. -- Daniel Egeberg -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hey Børge,
If you need to left-pad with zeroes, PHP comes to the rescue:
http://php.net/str_pad
However, if you're using the regular expression
method then you might not need to pad the
number. You can change the pattern from this:
/(\d+)(\d{2})(\d{2})$/'
to this:
/(\d*)(\d{2})(\d{2})$/'
so it won't require any digits before the final two pairs.
* 0 or more quantifier
+ 1 or more quantifier

Paul
Cool solution, and it works. =D
I do however need some chars to fill in on the finished product for the look
of it all, so the 0 is needed... Witch is a bit of a shame with this cool
string.

Well, just to make sure you don't discard regexp unnecessarily...
// the pattern guarantees five digits, then two, then two:
$sPattern = '/(\d{5})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/';
// prepend 9 zeroes to the number to enforce the minimum requirements:
preg_match($sPattern, '0' . $iNumber, $aMatches);
Results:
$iNumber = '';
$aMatches:
(
[0] = 0
[1] = 0
[2] = 00
[3] = 00
)
$iNumber = '123';
$aMatches:
(
[0] = 00123
[1] = 0
[2] = 01
[3] = 23
)
$iNumber = '12345';
$aMatches:
(
[0] = 12345
[1] = 1

Thanks. Its a much more sophisticated code with three values in one array,

value from explode. Never used preg_match like this before. =)

[PHP] Splitting a string
I have a CSV file that has 7 fields. One of the fields has a number, and
some of the numbers start with a S. If that number start with a S, I
want to strip it off. I am not sure how to do that. I first wrote the script
to open the file, load each line into an array and split the array by field.
Then split the variable where there is a S. The problem showed up when
there is another S in the field. I only want to split the first S at the
beginning of the field. Isn't there an additional value to add to the split
function that will only split by the qualifier once.
Here is what I have now.
?php
$OutputFile = fopen(2ndrun.txt, w) or die(Can't open File);
fwrite($OutputFile,
\Contract\,\PN\,\SN\,\Uin\,\Type\,\Descrip\,\Qty\,\Ship
Date\\n);
$fp = fopen (original.txt,r);
$Row = 1;
while($data = fgetcsv($fp, 1000, ,)) {
if($Row != 1) {
//Contract,PN,SN,Uin,Type,Descrip,Qty,Ship Date
fwrite($OutputFile, \$data[0]\,\$data[1]\,);
list($SN1, $SN2) = split(S, $data[2]);
fwrite($OutputFile,
\$SN2\,\$data[3]\,\$data[4]\,\$data[5]\,\$data[6]\,\$data[7]\\n
);
}
$Row++;
}
fclose ($fp);
fclose ($OutputFile);
print Done!\n;
?

Why don't you just check whether the first character is an S then
return only the rest of the string if it is? Like:
?php
$my_string = 'S12345';
if ($my_string{0} == 'S'){
$rest_of_the_string = substr($my_string, 1);
}
echo $rest_of_the_string;
?
Of course, there could be some other way...

RE: [PHP] Splitting a string
This is perfect. I was not sure how to use the brackets with a variable for
position. Thank you very much

[PHP] splitting a string in half
I wish to split my databased string in half to be shown on 2 seperate columns, but also preserve whole words. Is there a function that does this already? Maybe a quick fix? Hopefully something that doesn't include html tags as part of the string to split. If it's not that specific then that's okay. -Adam -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] Splitting a string first by quotes then spaces
Ok, heres one for y'all I have the user entering a free formed string (such as a search engine query).. and i want to parse that string into an array of string elements... If the user enters elements within double quotes, that would appear as one entity.. for each word outside of containing quotes, it would be treated as a sole entity.. For instance, the query: house shoe mother goose story would return an array with elements: [0] = house [1] = shoe [2] = mother goose [3] = story (note element [2] is multiple word...) I've been playing with explode($delimiter,$array) but if i use a double quote there, it will want to split anything up to the first instance into a sincle entity, then on from there... any ideas? -- Aaron -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Splitting a string first by quotes then spaces
Try this: first test to see if the query contain quotes, if it does, go to a seperate routine that splits the string into an array, first however, you must make sure there is a space before the query and one after the query ( you add these) *then* split the string into an array, explode on the quotesyou will find that every odd number element of the array has to be a string that was enclosed in quotes. If you have elements 0, 1, 2 and 3, then 1 and 3 will always be strings that were encloded in quotes. The spaces before and after the query that you insert assure that if the user makes the first part of the query a quote, the routine will detect it as an odd number element. rm __ Do You Yahoo!?
