Question

I am hoping someone can help me come up with a pattern to get the time value from the following line of text:

frame=   73 fps= 41 q=0.0 size=     136kB time=1.67 bitrate= 668.9kbits/s

Ideally I’d like to be able to go

preg_match($pattern, $line, $matches);
$time = $matches[0];

I have been working on it for ages and cannot seem to get the pattern right. Any help appreciated!

Answer 1

This should do it:

/time=(\S+)/

(your result will be in $matches[1])
