breaking line with regex(regular Expression or any method)

Hi All,

Can any one help me to breaking String using regular expression or any other string method.

$Str= "1. hello this is php page. 2. I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic 3. hello world please solve this problem"


Ans should be:

1. hello this is php page.
2. I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic
3. hello world please solve this problem


Thanks
Sam

 

preg_match_all('/[0-9]+\.[a-zA-Z \.]+/U',$stringtosearchin,$result);
print_r($result);

PHP:

Something like that should work (untested).

Edit:
This won't work if there are numbers in the title, if so, it has to be done manually.

Peace,

 

the output of above function is
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 1. [1] => 2. [2] => 3. ) )

 

Sorry:

preg_match_all('/[0-9]+\.([a-zA-Z \.])+/U',$stringtosearchin,$result);
print_r($result);
//$result[1] should contain the info.

PHP:

Peace,

 

$Str = "1. hello this is php page. 2. I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic 3. hello world please solve this problem";

echo sprintf('<pre>%s</pre>', preg_replace('#(\d+\. +)#', '$1'."\n", $Str));

Code (markup):

3. hello world please solve this problem

can you help me for writing this script..

Regard,
Sam

 

Try this.

<?php
$Str= "1. hello this is php page. 2. I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic 3. hello world please solve this problem";
$match = preg_split('/([0-9]+)\./i', $Str);
$ar = array();
foreach ($match as $el) {
    $el = trim($el);
    if ($el != '') {
        $ar[] = $el;
    }
}
unset($match);
echo('<pre>' . print_r($ar, true) . '</pre>');
?>

<!-- Now with OL -->
<ol>
    <?php foreach ($ar as $s) : ?>
    <li><?php echo($s) ?></li>
    <?php endforeach ; ?>
</ol>

PHP:

 

Sorry about that, I put the newline on the wrong side.

$Str = "1. hello this is php page. 2. I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic 3. hello world please solve this problem";

echo sprintf('<pre>%s</pre>', preg_replace('#(\d+\. +)#', "\n".'$1', $Str));

Code (markup):

You may or may not want to trim the result if the first newline is a problem for you..

$Str = "1. hello this is php page. 2. I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic 3. hello world please solve this problem";

echo sprintf('<pre>%s</pre>', trim(preg_replace('#(\d+\. +)#', "\n".'$1', $Str)));

Code (markup):

 

Thank you very much..


$Str= "1. hello this is php page. 2. I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic 3. hello world please solve this problem";
$match = preg_split('/([0-9]+)\./i', $Str);
unset($match[0]);
foreach ($match as $s) :
$i=(trim($s));
echo '<li>'.$i .'</li>';
endforeach ; ?>

100% running this code..
Thanks a lot..

Regards,
Sam

 

I've updated the code That's the old one (there is a bug in the old one i think).
You can check my post.

 

Hi

i think there is no use of this function.


$ar = array();foreach ($match as $el) { $el = trim($el); if ($el != '') { $ar[] = $el; }}
echo('<pre>' . print_r($ar, true) . '</pre>');


I am sending new updated solution.. sorry for intrupting..

it will display output like this

 

If you use my old code, and the $Str looks like this : (note that the 4th has nothing).

$Str= "1. hello this is php page. 2. I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic 3. hello world please solve this problem 4. 5. a";

PHP:

You'll get a display "bug"

<ol>
        <li> hello this is php page. </li>
        <li> I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic </li>
        <li> hello world please solve this problem </li>
        <li> </li> <!-- HERE is the empty -->
        <li> a</li>
</ol>

PHP:

With the new code, empty element(s) will be removed

<ol>
        <li> hello this is php page. </li>
        <li> I believe PHP is the BEST section for this topic </li>
        <li> hello world please solve this problem </li>
        <li> a</li>
</ol>

PHP:

 

Thanx

i modified your code.. This is good...
