Some message text here

I want to use regular expression to skip first two patterns and return only “Some message text…” there can be more of above two pattern. In PHP

Answer 1

.*TO:.*;\s*(.*)

Be sure to set dot matches newline

In php (preg) this becomes

if (preg_match('/.*TO:.*;\s*(.*)/s', $subject, $regs)) {
    $result = $regs[1];
} else {
    $result = "";
}
