RE: [PHP] Regular Expression

Here's a neat little tool I came across while taking an ASP.NET course at a local college for creating regular expressions. I've used it with my Perl/PHP scripting also.

[mailto:tumurbaatar@datacom.mn] Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 12:26 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Regular Expression There's an input string like "{str1,str2,...,strN}". I want to capture all these strings and due to complexity of them I use a preg_match_all() instead of simple split. A pattern for the matching strings is ready but I cannot imagine how to specify that strings are separated by commas and the last one is not followed by comma. For example, I'm afraid that this pattern "/^{(?:(pattern),)*|(pattern)?}$/" can match and capture properly constructed input string, but, in addition, this matches if the string end is ",}".
