Question

Need help with a regular expression.

1) Format:

 Advisor Geologist – HighMount Exploration & Production LLC – Oklahoma City, OK

I’d like to get the text between the last character and the dash. ie. Oklahoma City, OK. Note the text might contain multiple dashes.

Tried this:

~-([.*$]+)~

Trying to get between the dash and the end of the string (.*$). Need to know how to check for the last occurrence of the dash.

Answer 1

If you need to use regex, then go with

$pattern = '/[^\s–-][^–-]*?(?=\s*$)/';
preg_match($pattern, $subject, $matches);
