Question

I m trying to grab a string within a string using regex   I ve looked and looked but I can t seem to get any of the examples I have to work   I need to grab the html tags  lt code  and  lt  code  and everything in between them   Then I need to pull the matched string from the parent string  do operations on both    then put the matched string back into the parent string   Here s my code    content    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet  consectetur adipiscing elit   amp lt code gt Donec sed erat vel diam ultricies commodo  Nunc venenatis tellus eu quam suscipit quis fermentum dolor vehicula  amp lt  code gt    regex      code   preg match  regex   text   matches     I ve already tried these without success    regex      lt code s       gt      lt   code gt      regex      lt code gt      lt   code gt

regex      lt code gt       lt  code gt       Using   as the delimiter instead of   because then we don t need to escape the   in  lt  code gt   As Phoenix posted below      is used to make the      anything   match as few characters as possible before it comes across a  lt  code gt   known as a  non-greedy quantifier    That way  if your string is   lt code gt hello lt  code gt  something  lt code gt again lt  code gt    you ll match hello and again instead of just matching hello lt  code gt  something  lt code gt again

You can use the following    regex      lt  s  code b   gt    gt       lt  code b   gt    gt  s       b ensures that a typo  like  lt codeS gt   is not captured  The first pattern    gt    captures the content of a tag with attributes  eg a class   Finally  the flag s capture content with newlines    See the result here   http   lumadis be regex test regex php id 1081
