Question

There is a pattern in my texts and I need a preg_match pattern for next line.

Administrative Contact:
xxxx xxxxx

this is like this sometimes :

Admin contact: 
xxxxxx xxxx
or 
admin data:
xxxx xxxx

Is it possible to write a regular expression for this ?
I need xxxx xxxx data

Thank You Guys

Answer 1

It looks like the common factors are:

• Starts with “admin”
• Has a : to separate the label from the data
• Has data until the end of a line

In this case, the regex is:

/admin[^:]*:\s*(.*)/i

The desired data will be in subpattern 1.
