How To Extract Number

Hey, I got part of text , every time different but looks like this

'/s4w/1276675395.html'

how to extract number (in this case) 1276675395 ?

I used preg_replace "/[^0-9]/i" , but then I figure out that in s4w number 4 is present so its doesnt work.

 

i have this simple function, it might help

function get_string_between($string, $start, $end){
        $string = " ".$string;
        $ini = strpos($string,$start);
        if ($ini == 0) return "";
        $ini += strlen($start);   
        $len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
        return substr($string,$ini,$len);
	}



echo get_string_between('/s4w/1276675395.html', '/s4w/', '.html'); 

PHP:

This should print out
1276675395


best luck

 

$num = preg_replace('#^.+/(\d+)\.html$#i', '$1', $str);

Code (markup):

 

Thank You Very Much
Works like a charm

 

Regex is a Swiss army knife but sometimes the overhead is not needed when a simple string function will work:

$var = basename('/s4w/1276675395.html', '.html');

echo $var; // 1276675395

PHP:

 

I've also made a similar function it's optimized to the max i think.

function between($source, $start, $end, $p = 0) {
	$s = strpos($source, $start, $p) + strlen($start);
	return substr($source, $s, strpos($source, $end, $s) - $s);
}

PHP:

 

function extractOnlyNumbers($source) {

$result = "";
$Letter = "";
$valid_chars ="1234567890";

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($source); $i++) {
$Letter = substr($source, $i, 1);
if (strstr($valid_chars, $Letter) !== FALSE)
$result .= $Letter;
}
return $result;
}

 

This should probably do the trick.
