Question

I have the following string:

"@String RT @GetThisOne: Natio"

How can I get “GetThisOne” from this string?

Answer 1

You can use preg_match like this:

<?php

$string = "@String RT @GetThisOne: Natio";
preg_match('/@.*@([A-Za-z]*)/', $string, $matches);
echo $matches[1]; // outputs GetThisOne

Here, the pattern is the folowing: find an numeric string after the second @.
