Topic awaiting preservation: regex to match numbers

Greets!
I basically need to strip lines like this:

<A HREF="javascript:Show_Image('/mipsor/images/08656931.jpg')"><strong>Click HERE for Photograph</strong></a>

out of a variable using preg_replace. The name of the jpg is different each time. How can I match this field?

(?Ui)([/mipsor/images/])([0-9]{1,8})([\.jpg])

That should, if i rmember my regex correctly, match the literal string '/mipsor/images/', then any string of numbers from 0 to 9, between 1 and 8 characters in length, inclusive, then the literal string '.jpg'... does that help?

That should do it. Thanks!

I think you want that to be:

(?Ui)(/mipsor/images/)([0-9]{1,8})(\.jpg)

.

aah, yes... sorry. I was treating the two literal strings as sets of characters.

Also if you're just interested in the filename, you don't need the grouping parentheses around the path and extension.

(?Ui)/mipsor/images/([0-9]{1,8})\.jpg

should suffice.

What is the (?Ui) part of this line? I just copied it because you put it there Skaarjj. I assume it's a PHP thing, I don't understand

It's a settings string, makes it case insensitive and flips the greediness
