hello, any regex gurus? i'm trying to match words put into a <textarea> that are in the form of a\np\np\l\e or any combination of new lines in between, before or after.
$answer = "hello\na\np\np\nl\ne\n"; /*from textarea in form*/ $word = "apple"; $word = preg_replace("/(.)/","(.?|\s+|\n+|)$1(.?|\s+|\n+|)",$word); preg_match("/".$word."/im",$answer,$match) works. but if $word = "red apple"; $answer = "r\ne\nd\n\na\np\np\nl\e"; it doesn't match. thanks in advance, joe -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
