I am trying to find HTML tags, via PHP ereg, that has a {xxx} right before the closing tag – where xxx can be [A-Za-z0-9_\-]*.
For example: <p>xxxx</p><p>yyyy{asdf}</p>
This is the best I could come up with: /<([\w]+)([^>]?)>([^{]*)\{([^}]+)\}<\/\1>/is
The problem is though, that it will match group 3 will have xxxx</p><p>yyyy, and I only want yyyy in this case.
Hope anybody can help, cheers, Egil.
Ps. Sorry for the useless title, could not think of anything better.
Add a
?after each+and*in your regex. This will make the match less greedy.Else try adding
<>to the negative character classes[^{<>]*and[^}<>]*to exclude tags in between there.
