Php Regex: how to match repeated patterns - php

Question

given following text
bond0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
eth0: 11329920252 12554462 0 0 0 0 0 3561 13072970332 12899522 0 0 0 0 0 0
I need to capture columns values. I thought something about these lines:
Regex: `(\w+):(?:\s+(\d+))+`
Php: `preg_match_all('/(\w+):(?:\s+(\d+))+/sim', $data, $regs)
But unfortunately it captures only first column.
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => dummy0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[1] => bond0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[2] => eth0: 11329920252 12554462 0 0 0 0 0 3561 13072970332 12899522 0 0 0 0 0 0
[3] => ip6tnl0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[4] => lo: 51675995 100695 0 0 0 0 0 0 51675995 100695 0 0 0 0 0 0
[5] => sit0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[6] => tunl0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 0
[2] => 0
[3] => 0
[4] => 0
[5] => 0
[6] => 0
)
)
Any suggestion? Thanks

====EDIT====
Just to be clear: i know that i could preg_match searching for \d+ values or split the whole string in lines and run explode on the each line, but I'm interested in regex solution where I have first column as first member of resulting array(actualy forgot to put capturing braces in the first draft of question), and following columns with data, every line putted in it's dedicated array...

Answer 1

Why use preg_match or preg_match_all at all?
$results = array();
foreach (preg_split("/\r\n|\r|\n/", $data) as $line)
{
list($key, $values) = explode(":", $line);
$results[$key] = preg_split("/\s/", trim($values));
}
This should work as long as there is no more than one : on every line. Seems to me like it's the shortest and fastest way to write this too.

Answer 2

Here you go:
$data = explode("\n", $data);
$out = array();
foreach ($data as $d) {
preg_match_all('/\s(\d+)/', $d, $matches);
Puts $matches[0] equal to an array of matches. You then want to add it to the array of rows:
$out[] = $matches[0];
}
You now have an jagged array of lines and columns. So, to reference line two column four, you can go to $out[1][3].

Answer 3

I know that you are looking for preg_match solution but this is in case you didn't find any usefull answer
<?php
$val = "bond0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
eth0: 11329920252 12554462 0 0 0 0 0 3561 13072970332 12899522 0 0 0 0 0 0";
$arr1 = explode("\n",$val);
foreach ($arr1 as $value) {
$exp = explode(":",$value);
$ex = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ',trim($exp[1]));
$arr[$exp[0]] = explode(" ",$ex);
}
var_dump($arr);
?>
results:
array (size=2)
'bond0' =>
array (size=17)
0 => string '' (length=0)
1 => string '0' (length=1)
2 => string '0' (length=1)
3 => string '0' (length=1)
4 => string '0' (length=1)
5 => string '0' (length=1)
6 => string '0' (length=1)
7 => string '0' (length=1)
8 => string '0' (length=1)
9 => string '0' (length=1)
10 => string '0' (length=1)
11 => string '0' (length=1)
12 => string '0' (length=1)
13 => string '0' (length=1)
14 => string '0' (length=1)
15 => string '0' (length=1)
16 => string '0' (length=1)
'eth0' =>
array (size=17)
0 => string '' (length=0)
1 => string '11329920252' (length=11)
2 => string '12554462' (length=8)
3 => string '0' (length=1)
4 => string '0' (length=1)
5 => string '0' (length=1)
6 => string '0' (length=1)
7 => string '0' (length=1)
8 => string '3561' (length=4)
9 => string '13072970332' (length=11)
10 => string '12899522' (length=8)
11 => string '0' (length=1)
12 => string '0' (length=1)
13 => string '0' (length=1)
14 => string '0' (length=1)
15 => string '0' (length=1)
16 => string '0' (length=1)

Answer 4

You can do it like this:
$subject = <<<LOD
dummy0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
bond0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
eth0: 11329920252 12554462 0 0 0 0 0 3561 13072970332 12899522 0 0 0 0 0 0
ip6tnl0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
lo: 51675995 100695 0 0 0 0 0 0 51675995 100695 0 0 0 0 0 0
sit0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
tunl0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
LOD;
$pattern = '~^(?<item>\w+):|\G\h+(?<value>\d+)~m';
preg_match_all($pattern, $subject, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
$i=-1;
foreach($matches as $match) {
if (isset($match['value']))
$result[$i]['values'][] = $match['value'];
else {
$i++;
$result[$i]['item'] = $match['item']; }
}
print_r($result);
You will obtain the format you describe in your EDIT.
Pattern details:
~ # pattern delimiter
^ # anchor for the line start (in multiline mode)
(?<item>\w+) # named capture "item"
:
| # OR
\G # force the match to be contigous from precedent
\h+ #
(?<value>\d+) # named capture "value"
~m # pattern delimiter, m modifier for multiline mode
