Hi list
I still fail to understand why regular expressions are causing me such a hard
time.
er, because they are hard? hey you failed! we have a club :-)
I used and tested my regexp in kregexpeditor (comes with Quanta [kdewebdev])
but when I put it in the php script it fails.
ereg('^([\w]{3,3})[\s]([\d]{2,2})[\s]([\d]{2,2})[:]([\d]{2,2})[:]([\d]{2,2})'
I always use the preg_*() functions myself.
and I always have to specify regexp delimiters ...
$re =
"#^([\w]{3,3})[\s]([\d]{2,2})[\s]([\d]{2,2})[:]([\d]{2,2})[:]([\d]{2,2})#";
$st = "Nov 22 06:51:36";
echo (preg_match($re, $st) ? "Yes":"No"),"\n";
I ran the above and it returned 'Yes' for me.
Does not match my query string.
Which is
Nov 22 06:51:36
Any ideas why? I mean Line start, followed by 3 word chars, followed by a
space, followed by 2 digits, followed by a space, followed by two digits,
folowed by a colon followed by 2 digits and followed by a colon, should match
that date?
With kind regards
Andy
