Can you ...
var_dump(exec($mixer . ' ' . $command));
I wonder if the output includes a new line which you are not
accounting for in the regex.
Haven't tried yet, but isn't that what $ is for? End of line?
$ matches end of line, but since your last match expression is to
match explicitly the character '.' before end of line, and there's a
newline, it won't match. Again, use trim() to get rid of the newline
character at the end of the string returned by exec(). Looking at the
output or
And exec only gives one line- the last line of the output of the
command. You have to provide a reference to an array for the entire
output.
var_dump gives:
string(41) "Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75"
It also looks like \d{1,3}\. won't match anything in the output string
given by the command.
Thank you for that- that did it. I removed the \.
I am a little confused though; that regex was tested on several test
sites and was deemed accurate on them, and one of them actually supplied
the preg_match code. And if I run the command on a shell it actually
outputs exactly the right subject for the regex- not to mention it got
printed inadvertently (using system() ) via the php exactly the same. So
I don't think I missed it somehow.
What I have constantly seen come up (shell and php/html) is: Mixer vol
is currently set to 75:75. (including the period)
Don't get me wrong- you guys make sense; my system doesn't. I need to
get to the bottom of this so I can ensure my code will port well. I
don't want to get it all working and find it breaks when I run it on
another system, albeit same OS (FreeBSD). Could be updates or variations
of releases.
Just to check again, I ran the command on the shell again and sure
enough the period is no longer there- but I can't for the life of me
figure out when that changed as this code has never worked (and yes, I
added in the \. to match the end of line because it originally wasn't
working). Another great mystery? Weird... :)
Thanks again guys.
