regex - Extracting substrings ending with "mp4" -
i have following input:
string='get........ref=mp4;get........ref=flv;get........ref=mp4;'
it has 3 segments. need extract segments ending mp4;
.
ie.
get........ref=mp4 get........ref=mp4
the current result match get........ref=mp4
, get........ref=flv;get........ref=mp4;
.
my regular express: get(.*?)mp4
i don't need long match containing flv
inside, , regex not work: get(.*?)(?!:flv)mp4
i don't know how solve , appreciated.
you can explode semi-colon separated list , use preg_grep
elements end mp4
:
$string='get........ref=mp4;get........ref=flv;get........ref=mp4;'; $res = explode(";", $string); $res = preg_grep('/mp4$/i', $res); print_r($res);
see ideone demo
if there no semi-colons, glued:
// no semi_colons $str='get........ref=mp4get........ref=flvget........ref=mp4'; preg_match_all('/get\b(?:(?!get\b).)*mp4(?=$|get\b)/', $str, $res); print_r($res);
