I have an HTML file which contains nothing but text. There are no styles or anything.
The text looks like:
ID NAME ANOTHER-ID-11-LETTERS MAJOR
Example:
20 Paul Mark Zedd 10203040506 Software Engineering
ID
and ANOTHER-ID-11-LETTER
are numbers..
NAME
And MAJOR
are normal text and also contain spaces.
How can I strip them and make each word or each content in new-line using PHP?
Expected result:
20
Paul Mark Zedd
10203040506
Software Engineering
Looks like the first item is always a number, followed by a space, followed by a name which can be anything, followed by a number which is 11 digits folowed by some more text.
You can use regex and the above details to split the string
$test = preg_match("/([0-9]*?)\s(.*?)([0-9]{11})\s(.*)/is", "20 Paul Mark Zedd 10203040506 Software Engineering",$matchs);
print_r($matchs)
output:
Array
(
[0] => 20 Paul Mark Zedd 10203040506 Software Engineering
[1] => 20
[2] => Paul Mark Zedd
[3] => 10203040506
[4] => Software Engineering
)
