Question

How do I get the percentage and filesize from this sort of string using regex in PHP?

The thing is I get this string using the print_r() function like so:

while(!feof($handle)) {     $progress = fread($handle, 8192);     print_r($progress);  }  

The above outputs something like this:

[download] 28.8% of 1.51M at 171.30k/s ETA 00:06 

I’m sure I need to use something like preg_match() but not sure how to do it for an array plus how do I reference the string. The regex needs to be placed inside the loop.

Try this:

foreach ($progress as $str) {     if (preg_match_all('/\[download] (\d+\.\d)% of (\d+\.\d+\w)/', $str, $matches)) {         var_dump($matches);     } }
