RE: [PHP] Re: regex problem

So, what you want is to pretty much use this regex /^(.*)([^\/]+)\/([^\/]+)$/ when matched on this URI, the backreferences will contain \\1 partner/ \\2 name \\3 contact.html \\4 .html > > partner/name/contact.html I have not tested it, but I just guess it will work ;) Wanna know why? I'll tell you :D - It first looks at the beginning of the string and will go on untill a the next pair of () start (partner/) - That happens there where there is a string containing any character, but not a slash (partner) - as a seperator another slash is added - it starts to match the last part of the url and looks up untill the end. Again a string containing no slashes Hope it does do what I expect it to do .. ;) Wouter -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Merlin [mailto:news.groups@web.de] Verzonden: vrijdag 15 augustus 2003 16:21 Aan: php-general@lists.php.net Onderwerp: [PHP] Re: regex problem Good idea, but does not work either - surprisingly! - There should be a clean way with regex for this task.
