I parse an html page into a plain text in order to find and get a numeric value. In the whole html mess, I need to find a string like this one:
C) Debiti33.197.431,90I - Di finanziamento
I need the number 33.197.431,90 (where this number is going to change on every html parsing request.
Is there any regex to achieve this? For example:
STARTS WITH 'C) Debiti' ENDS WITH 'I - Di finanziamento' GETS the middle string that can be whatever.
Whenever I try, I get empty results...don't know that much about regex. Can you please help me? Thank you very much.
You could try the below regex,
^C\) Debiti\K.*?(?=I - Di finanziamento$)
PHP code would be,
<?php
$mystring = "C) Debiti33.197.431,90I - Di finanziamento";
$regex = '~^C\) Debiti\K.*?(?=I - Di finanziamento$)~';
if (preg_match($regex, $mystring, $m)) {
$yourmatch = $m[0];
echo $yourmatch;
}
?> //=> 33.197.431,90
This should work. Read section Want to Be Lazy? Think Twice.
(?<=\bC\) Debiti)[\d.,]+(?=I - Di finanziamento\b)
Here is demo
sample code:
$re = "/(?<=\\bC\\) Debiti)[\\d.,]+(?=I - Di finanziamento\\b)/i";
$str = "C) Debiti33.197.431,90I - Di finanziamento";
preg_match($re, $str, $matches);
