Question

I’m new to PHP and generally regular expressions. I have to match words that contains strings like word[0-9]* = any string here . How do I write a regex for this. So far I have come up with this but it doesnt seem to find the strings properly.

$regexp = "word[0-9]* = [A-Z](.*)[a-z]";

How would I correct the above expression?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

word[\d]* = (.*)

That?

preg_match('/word[\d]* = (.*)/', $string, $matches);

This is assuming you want to capture the string after the ‘=’.
