What is the regex I need to use if I
Need to select the "10" in player list and not the "10" from group
{"group":"10","player":["12","15","13","10","1"]}
Sorry I should have given a little more on the programming scope
The json string is supposed to be treated as a string and not json parsed because I need to use query in mysql to select rows that match this criteria..
for example, in the above example...
Select * from team Where jsondata=(Something to the effect that "10" can be found in player list but will ignore if "10" is found only in group)
If i use:
Select * from team Where jsondata LIKE'%"10"%'
then obviously it would be wrong because if the data was {"group":"10","player":[]} it would still qualify
i want to run a php command like preg_match to match the "10" form the player list if found
Thanks for those who have replied so far
I know you asked for a regular expression. However, if the string will always be a Python dict, then how about:
str = "{\"group\":\"10\",\"player\":[\"12\",\"15\",\"13\",\"10\",\"1\"]}"
"10" in eval( str )["player"]
This would test whether the string "10" exists for the list in the "player" key. You might want something slightly different. The point being, if the data will always be a serialized Python data structure, you'll be able to work with this data much more naturally as a Python data structure.
Note, since I was typing the string manually I had to escape the ". If you were reading this string from a file you wouldn't have to do that.
Try somenthing like this: "player":\[.*"(10)" or "player":\[("\d+",)*?"(10)"
Depends on, how strictly you like it.
In MySQL you can use this:
SELECT * FROM team WHERE jsondata REGEXP '"player":.*"10"'
