If it's just the regex that you need - try this - the country id will be in the first group
Country:\s*([A-Z]{2})
Country: - match literals\s* - match any number of whitespaces, tabs etc.([A-Z]{2}) - match and capture any letter (uppercase) twiceuse preg_match_all if you need all occurrences of this pattern
With preg_match you can do something like :
if (preg_match('/^Country:\s*([A-Z]{2,3)$/m', $str, $match)) {
echo $match[1];
}
There is a phpwhois library for working with whois data. It'll get you the response as an array.
Extract with preg_match
preg_match("/Country:(.*)\"/siU", $str, $match);
echo trim($match[1]);
$regex = "/country:[\ \t
\f][A-Z]+\s/";
$txt = "descr: NCC#200X44704917
country: FR
admin-c: ACPSA223-RIPE
tech-c: TCWQQP8-RIPE";
preg_match($regex, $txt, $result);
print_r($result);
------------------------------------
Array ( [0] => country: FR )
