Need help with a regular expression…

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 12.2009

I’m not very good with regular expressions quite yet.

I need to find any or die statement, so like…

or die($variable)
or die(“you’re dead!”)

etc.

Pretty much just

or die(

anything and everything

)

Should be easy but I’m getting stuck on it because the ( ) are used to contain expressions…

@xvszeroauthorJan 13.2009 — Ah yeah. I got that far but I can't figure out how to get an "everything" character. I read that . works, but it doesn't match anything for me, let alone everything.

Right now this kind of works...

or die([a-zA-z0-9" '!]+);

But I just based the characters off of what I found in the first few pages of many, many pages. I'd really rather replace that a-zA-Z etc. with something that just handles "every" character. Because what I'm trying to do is a mass replace in a bunch of files at once and if I went into each one to make sure it wasn't using any goofy characters well... might as well just edit each file individually at that point.

Success!
