PHP & newlines Regular expressions
Hi all!
I have a preformatted text where I want to run a regular expression. The text is something like :
<?php
codeA
*->refbrjkgbrkjgbrjukbgreukgbrukgbegurebgrek
klgfhnrjkgnrjgbrejkgbrjkbegjkrbbrkegbrejb
reopjgporejytopjrotjrphjpojprhjtporhtjrph
codeB
*->4p3tuop43tu4optj4rofdgfnreklfnrklefnrkenr
ropeturojgorejgeolgjrelgjrlgrhelkghelghlg
regjrejgoejeojigjreilgjelgjrilgjlerjgelrj
?>From each 'paragraph', I want to match the part under codeA and codeB
The problem I have is with matching the newline characters. I write :
preg_match('/code.{1}\n\*->(.*)\ncode./')
but it doesn't match... I think the problem is the newlines

Try using \r\n because \n is solely for Windows systems. I am assuming your php server is linux and these files were made on that server.

Also I found this page and they have quite a bit of information on special sequences:

Hi,
thanx for the posts...
I tried using double quotes, but doesn't do anything... and the weird thing is that, for instance, spaces are matced with \s but why newlines don't????I can't figure it out.....
I am currently on Windows, but will try it...
