So here is my question
i have the following string
"Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet data file named \"%@?\"" = "";
"Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet file named \"%@?\"" = "";
"Are you sure you want to import the MasterCook file named \"%@?\"" = "";
"Are you sure you want to import the Meal-Master file named \"%@?\"" = "";
"Import MasterCook file?" = "Importer le fichier MasterCook ?";
i have to extract string inside the double quotes for this i am writting the code
preg_match_all('#"([^"]*)"\s*=\s*"([^"]*)";#', $this->text, $match);
but in the $match variable i am getting the following array
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => "" = "";
[1] => "" = "";
[2] => "" = "";
[3] => "" = "";
[4] => "Import MasterCook file?" = "Importer le fichier MasterCook ?";
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] =>
[1] =>
[2] =>
[3] =>
[4] => Import MasterCook file?
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] =>
[1] =>
[2] =>
[3] =>
[4] => Importer le fichier MasterCook ?
)
)
But the array should be
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => "Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet data file named\"%@?\"" = "";
[1] => "Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet file named \"%@?\""= "";
[2] => "Are you sure you want to import the MasterCook file named \"%@?\"" = "";
[3] => "Are you sure you want to import the Meal-Master file named \"%@?\"" = "";
[4] => "Import MasterCook file?" = "Importer le fichier MasterCook ?";
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet data file named\"%@?\"
[1] => Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet file named \"%@?\"
[2] => Are you sure you want to import the MasterCook file named \"%@?\"
[3] => Are you sure you want to import the Meal-Master file named \"%@?\"
[4] => Import MasterCook file?
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] =>
[1] =>
[2] =>
[3] =>
[4] => Importer le fichier MasterCook ?
)
)
Can you tell me the tweak in in my regular expression.
Thanks in advance.
Try this:
<?php
$string = '
"Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet data file named \"%@?\"" = "";
"Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet file named \"%@?\"" = "";
"Are you sure you want to import the MasterCook file named \"%@?\"" = "";
"Are you sure you want to import the Meal-Master file named \"%@?\"" = "";
"Import MasterCook file?" = "Importer le fichier MasterCook ?";
';
preg_match_all('#"(.*?)"\s*=\s*"(.*?)";#', $string, $match);
print_r($match);
Note lazy matching .*?
Matching quoted strings that may contain escaped quoted strings is not entirely trivial, but it is not that difficult. Using a non-capturing group, (?:...)
, with the OR operator, |
, you can specify a list of things to match. You can also repeat the group using +
or *
.
The \\1
that is used throughout the regex is a reference to the first matched thing. In this case it is the double quote, (")
. I have done it like that so it may be easier to change the double quote to something else (a single quote, for instance).
I have commented the regex so it may be a little easier to follow.
$examples = array(
'"Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet data file named\"%@?\"" = ""',
'"Are you sure you want to import the MacGourmet file named \"%@?\""= ""',
'"Are you sure you want to import the MasterCook file named \"%@?\"" = ""',
'"Are you sure you want to import the Meal-Master file named \"%@?\"" = ""',
'"Import MasterCook file?" = "Importer le fichier MasterCook ?"',
);
function myGetValues(array $values) {
static $regex = '/
^ # Start of string
(") # Opening quote; capture for use later
(?P<left> # Left side of equal sign
(?: # Either of these
[^\1]|\\\1 # Not quote or escaped quote
)* # Zero or more times
) # End left side
\1 # Closing quote
\s*=\s* # Equal sign with optional whitespace
\1 # Opening quote
(?P<right> # Right side of equal sign
(?: # Either of these
[^\1]|\\\1 # Not quote or escaped quote
)* # Zero or more times
) # End right side
\1 # Closing quote
$ # End of string
/x';
$results = array();
foreach ($values as $value) {
preg_match($regex, $value, $match);
if ($match) {
// We only need the labelled stuff
$results[] = array(
'left' => $match['left'],
'right' => $match['right'],
);
}
}
return $results;
}
var_dump(myGetValues($examples));
