Hello,
I normally can take a bit of regex fun, but not this time.
Simple enough, in theory... I need to match (count) all of the bold tags in a string, including ones with embedded styles (or whatever else can go in there). <b> and <b style="color:red">. My attempts keep matching <br> as well.
okay, you didn't show the regexp you currently have no worries - I happen to have struck the same problem about 9 months ago when I had to screenscrape product info from a static site for importation into a DB,
heres a list of regexps which will hopefully give you enough info to
do what you want (the fifth regexp is the one you should look at most closely):
// strip out top and bottom
$str = preg_replace('/<[\/]?html>/is','',$str);
// strip out body tags
$str = preg_replace('/<[\/]?body[^>]*>/is','',$str);
// strip out head
$str = preg_replace('/<head>.*<[\/]head>/Uis','',$str);
// strip out non product images
$str = preg_replace('/<img[^>]*(nieuw|new|euro)\.gif[^>]*\/?>/Uis','',$str);
// strip out font, div, span, p, b
$str = preg_replace('/<[\/]?(font|div|span|p|b[^r])[^>]*>/Uis','',$str);
// table, td, tr attributes
$str = preg_replace('/<(table|td|tr)[^>]*>/Uis','<$1>',$str);
// strip out the first table and hr?
$str = preg_replace('/<table>.*<hr>/Uis','',$str, 1);
// strip table, td, tr
$str = preg_replace('/<[\/]?(table|td|tr|h5)>/Ui','',$str);
// strip out all new lines
$str = str_replace("\n", '', $str);
// strip out tabs
$str = preg_replace('/[\011]+/', ' ', $str);
// strip out extra white space
$str = preg_replace('/[ ]+/', ' ', $str);
Thanks!
