I would split it by \n and have returned in one array each row. How can I do the regular expression?
$rows = preg_split('$regular_expression', $content);
After I will extract all the rows, how can I extract each value separated by backspace?
$values_in_a_row = preg_split('$regular_expression', $a_row);
Here the text were I am trying to do it http://regexr.com?2v23c .
There isn't any need for regular expressions:
<?php
$data = explode("\n", $data); // preg_split('#\n#', $data); Please don't
foreach($data as &$row) {
$row = explode(' ', $row); // preg_split('#\s#', $row); Seriously
}
print_r($data);
?>
<test></test>
If you are having issues because you don't know if each newline is just \n
or \r\n
or \r
then none of the above answers work and a regexp works. What I did was
$lines = preg_split("/(\r\n|\n|\r)/",$content);
Then you can use the accepted answer to split the spaces.
$rowsapart = preg_split("/\n/",$rowstogether);
$colspart = preg_split("/\s/",$colstogether);
No need for REGEX, use explode()
instead:
<?php
$file = <<<EOF
