I have this text:
andres wins Pot (9.50) with a Full House
and i want to get the word "andres". This is a player name (variable), that is always shown before the word "wins".
I need to use preg_match_all function, and i am trying with:
%(?:\S+\s)?\S*wins%
But it returns me:
andres wins
I need only, andres.
Thank you !
Use a capturing group instead of a non-capturing group. This should be enough to match the preceding word.
(\w+)\s*wins
You need to reference $matches[1]
to return your match result.
(\w+)(?=\s*wins)
You can also use this.Grab the match[1].This will not capture anything else.See demo.
