I am trying to fix a regular expression i have been using in php it finds all find filenames within a sentence / paragraph. The file names always look like this:
/this-a-valid-page.php
From help i have received on SOF my old pattern was modified to this which avoids full urls which is the issue i was having, but this pattern only finds one occurance at the beginning of a string, nothing inside the string.
/^\/(.*?).php/
I have a live example here: http://vzio.com/upload/reg_pattern.php
Remove the
^– the carat signifies the beginning of a string/line, which is why it’s not matching elsewhere.If you need to avoid full URLs, you might want to change the
^to something like(?:^|\s)which will match either the beginning of the string or a whitespace character – just remember to strip whitespace from the beginning of your match later on.
