I have a multi-line string shown below -
?a="text1
?bc="text23
I need to identify a pattern like using below regex
'/[?][a-z^A-Z]+[=]["]/'
and replace my string by just remove the double quote (") in it, expected output is shown below
?a=text1
?b=text23
Please help in solving the above issue using php.
Capture everything except the quote in a capture group () and replace:
$string = preg_replace('/([?][a-z^A-Z]+[=])["]/', '$1', $string);
But you really don't need all those character classes []:
/(\?[a-z^A-Z]+=)"/
I will give another solution because i see the php tag also. So let's say you have these:
$a='"text1';
$b='"text2';
if i echo them i get
"text1
"text2
in order to get rid of double quote there is a function trim in php that you can use like that:
echo trim($a,'"');
echo trim($b,'"');
the results will be
text1
text2
I dont think you need regex in this occasion as long as you use php. Php can take care of those small things without bother with complex regex expressions.
