I got this array:
array (
0 => 'K.',
1 => 'Vrachtschip',
2 => 'L.',
3 => 'Gevechtsschip',
4 => 'Z.',
5 => 'Gevechtsschip',
6 => 'Kruiser',
7 => 'Slagschip',
8 => 'Bommenwerper',
9 => 'Vernietiger',
10 => 'Interceptor.',
)
of can I merge the items [0]
with [1]
, because K. vrachtschip must be together. same ass [2]
and [3]
; and [4]
with [5]
. if there is 1 letter and then a dot (k.) it must be merged with the following array item.
Anyone that can help me :)?
How about:
$arr = array (
'K.',
'Vrachtschip',
'L.',
'Gevechtsschip',
'Z.',
'Gevechtsschip',
'Kruiser',
'Slagschip',
'Bommenwerper',
'Vernietiger',
'Interceptor',
'B.',
);
$concat = '';
$result = array();
foreach ($arr as $elem) {
if (preg_match('/^[A-Z]\.$/', $elem)) {
$concat = $elem;
continue;
}
$result[] = $concat.$elem;
$concat = '';
}
if ($concat) $result[] = $concat;
print_r($result);
output:
Array
(
[0] => K.Vrachtschip
[1] => L.Gevechtsschip
[2] => Z.Gevechtsschip
[3] => Kruiser
[4] => Slagschip
[5] => Bommenwerper
[6] => Vernietiger
[7] => Interceptor
[8] => B.
)
Try to use a regular expression to test all entries of your array.
If an occurence is founded, concat the value of your entrie with the next.
I'd probably do the following (pseudo code):
/^[a-z]\.$/i
?I would try something like this:
for($idx=0, $max = count($array_in); $idx < $max; $idx++)
{
if(preg_match('/^[a-z]\.$/i', $array_in[$idx]))
{
$array_out[] = $array_in[$idx].$array_in[$idx+1];
$idx++;
}
else
{
$array_out[] = $array_in[$idx];
}
}
