Hi all,
I'm trying from much days to solve a problem with a regular expression... I'm going to be crazy!
I've a script that must strip a string when it find the first word containing at least 4 characters; it must print the content of the string before that word, that word, a separator and the rest of the string.
I've tried with ereg whit this script ([EMAIL PROTECTED] is the separator):
ereg( '^([^ ]{4,})(.*)$', $testo, $matches);
$contents = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
but it is not the right script because if the strin($testo) is "the thing is" the script doesn't find nothing and doesn't print. For this example the right content of $contents must be:
$contents = "the [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
instead of nothing. I've tried with thousand of variant of this script but without success. have you any ideas of the right regular expression?
Thanks in advance. Bye
Barbara
