I'm trying to save myself some time by extracting certain variables from a string: 102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8 I've been testing with: http://www.quanetic.com/regex.php and have been somewhat successful. Using this pattern: /[0-9]{2,}( X| x|x )/ I have: 102-90 E [!MATCH!] [!MATCH!] 70 3/8 Ideally what I want to do is update the db table that holds these records. ID: 1 Unit: 102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8 Panel: 42 Width: 42 Height: 70 3/8 $pattern1 = '/[0-9]{2,}( X| x|x )/'; $units = array of units above foreach($units AS $unit){ preg_match($pattern1,$unit[1],$match); print_r($match); echo "Panel: ".$match[0]; } The $match array is empty. Actually looking at the data there are so many typos (imported from Excel) that I will probably have to update by hand, but out of curiosity now what would be a good regex for the info given?
