[PHP] Regular Expression Problem and PHP 4 (urgent)
Here is the problem: I'm retrieving a page of data from another process using PHP4 on Solaris 2.51 This data is placed in an array by line and simply returned to the browser after formatting. A sample line may look something like this: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I think I need to use eregi_replace to make the line look like this: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah when it is returned to the browser.

[PHP] Re: Regular Expression Problem and PHP 4 (urgent)
Actually I didn't pose my question correctly.
I also needed to grep out the "Link" for use in JS during the process.
I wrapped this in a class file and here is the entry that I ended up with.
Thanks for the assist though...
==
function getPL($plric)
{
//variable set to add at the end of the RIC if it's a stock not a page
$temp = "B2";
//find out if it's a stock by query for the period in the RIC
if (eregi("\.", $plric))
{
//add B2 if it's a stock
$plric = $plric + $temp;
}
//the data comes out of the server pipe delimited
$pages = split("\|",`/mdsweb/cgi-bin/Snap_Pages -s 000.000.000.00 -p
34927 -r $plric`);
$a=0;
while ($pages[$a] != "")
{
$pages[$a] = htmlentities($pages[$a]);
//replace spaces with
$pages[$a] = str_replace(" ", " ", $pages[$a]);
//find the left angle brackets
$a1 = spliti("<", $pages[$a]);
$b=0;
while ($a1[$b] != "")
{
//if the resulting data has a right angle bracket
if (eregi(">", $a1[$b]))
{
$a2 = spliti(">", $a1[$b]);
if (eregi("\.", $a2[0]))
{
echo "<";
echo $a2[0];
//put back the right angle bracket in the link
echo ">";
$c=1;
//echo the link itself
while ($a2[$c])
{
echo $a2[$c];
$c++;
}
}
else
{
echo "";
echo $a2[0];
echo "";
$c=1;
while ($a2[$c])
{
echo $a2[$c];
$c++;
}
}
}
else
{
echo $a1[$b];
}
$b++;
}
echo "";
$a++;
}
}

[PHP] Regular Expression Problem and PHP 4 (urgent) --- continued
Well my first solution didn't really work the way I needed it too so here
goes again...
Data returned from server process looks like following...
Header
datadatadatadata[link]datadatadata{link}data[link]
datadata{link}data[link]datadatadata{link}data[link]
datadatadatadata[link]datadatadata{link}data[link]
Closer
I need to grep the values between [] and {} to turn them into a links.
(BTW I need to retain the values for use in JS)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ross

Andrey,
Thanks for the time that you put into this!
After some tweaking (for my scripts) I got this working nicely, and learned
a thing or two about PREG also.

true|false) is 1 as a backreference is set so we found [.
