Line Numbers with preg_match

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 06.2007

Hey there,

I’m doing some source code processing with preg_match, and ideally, I’d like to search for a pattern, and then identify what line number the match occurred on with each match.

What is the best way to do this? Should I split my code by n, then attempt the match on each line, or is there an efficient way to do it with PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE? Or something else even?

Thanks in advance!

-Matt

@temp_user123Jul 06.2007 — I haven't tried it but, a thought... If you capture, using [B]preg_match_all()[/B], both what you're searching for and occurrences of newline (using the or | operator in the regular expression), possibly the line number would reveal itself by the order in which the saved matches were stored in the resulting match array.

Success!
