How to write such regexp

Need regexp for following data:

#file "scripts\generate.c";;
void Generate()

adsasd
asdasdas
asdasd
#file "a.c";;
void asdad()
asdasd
asdasd

which will return file and code like so:

Array(
    [0] => scripts\generate.c
    [1] => 
            void Generate()
               
            adsasd
            asdasdas
            asdasd
)

... and same for #file "a.c";;

Solution

  • Your first try was nearby correct. Just change ((?!#file .*).)* to ((?:(?!#file).)*) and also add the modifier g to get all occurrences.

    It should look than like this: /#file "([^"]*)";;((?:(?!#file).)*)/gims
