Grab within from Curl

Question

I curl and get the following:

echo $contents

which gives me this:

 <td class="fomeB1" >Balance: $ 1.02</td>

$13.32 fee
$15.22 fee 2

How do I just grab the 1.02 - everything after the $ and in front of the </td>

I want to strip this via php and put the money into variable $balance....

Any kind of help I can get on this is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

yes you can use exactly what u want

preg_match("/(?<=Balance: ).*?(?=<)/", "<td class='fomeB1'>Balance: $ 1.02</td>", $match);
print_r(str_replace("$"," ",$match));

// Prints:
Array
(
    [0] =>   1.02
)
