use preg_replace to nix and line with "display: none"

use preg_replace to nix and line with "display: none"

am 09.08.2009 07:14:51 von Rob Gould

I have a bunch of bullets in a list coming from a previous post, and I
need to eliminate any line from this string that contains "display:
none"

    • I'm CLOSE, but since the style = "display:[space]none" my preg_replace
    doesn't catch it. Can anyone help me determine the correct
    preg_replace pattern to do this?

    $bl = $_POST['bulletlist'];
    $pattern = '|^.+?display:none.+?$|mi';
    $bl = preg_replace($pattern,'',$bl);

    I found your use of ? rather... creative... Anyway, just add the
    condition "0 or more whitespace" to your regex.

    $pattern =3D '|^.+display:\w*none.+$|';

    Easy to do with xml tools if your input is easily manipulated by xml
    tools, but try this:

    $pattern = '/]*style="display: none[^>]*>/';

    not tried myself.

    I wish I could say this works, but I'm not having success with this
    pattern. All the lines with display: none are still in the $bl string.

    Sorry... my bad... its \s. I need some sleep.
    $pattern =3D '|^.+display:\s*none.+$|';

    Also, if you're certain you'll only ever have one space there, you can
    just say that explicitly.
    $pattern =3D '|^.+display: none.+$|';

    But I prefer to leave things open for robustness.

    You mean the non-greedy flag? I think that's necessary the way the
    regex was originally formulated -- without it, ".+display" would
    gobble up all of the list-items until the last one.
