Question

How do you find a string on document and then echo the string?

For example,

The document:

blah blah result.php?whatiwanttoecho blah

or:

blahhh result.php?whatiwanttoecho blah blah blah

There will always be ‘result.php?’ before what I want to echo.

The end result I’m looking for:

$doc = "./doc.txt";

$doccontents = file_get_contents($file);

Then the code that I need help that has the end result of:

$result = 'whatiwanttoecho';
echo $result;

Hope this makes sense. Thanks (:

GHi,

Try the example from this code:

$doccontents = 'blahhh result.php?whatiwanttoecho blah blah blah';
$rgxp = '/result.php\?([^ ]+)/i';
if(preg_match($rgxp, $doccontents, $mc)) $result = $mc[1];
else $result = 'No match';
echo $result;      // whatiwanttoecho
