I have a string
“JonSmith02-11-1955”
I use
preg_split to get JonSmith (reg='[0-9-]’) then do it again (‘[a-zA-Z]\ ‘) to get his birthdate.
Is there any better way to get them both in one split ?
works in this case. It matches a position preceded by a letter and followed by a digit. Read about lookbehinds and -aheads for more information.
This won’t work if the name can contain digits.
