Need some help with regular expressions (php)?

Which will match the minimum characters needed to complete the match: (value). *?(\(\d+\)).

. * is greedy, so it will match as many characters as possible, you want . *?

Which will match the minimum characters needed to complete the match: /(value). *?(\(\d+\)).

Thanks a lot, that was so easy :) – a1ex07 May 16 at 20:23.

What's wrong with your regex is that . * is greedy, and tries to matchs as many letters as possible. Preg_match("#value.

*? \((\d+)\)#is", $string, $result); But you can make it faster by using a negative class: preg_match("#value^(+\((\d+)\)#is", $string, $result).

. *?value. *?

\((\d+)\). * Being *? A reluctant match.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
