[RESOLVED] Find Files in Directory with Pattern Matching

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 16.2009

Hi,

I’ve beating my head against a wall all day.

Been trying to create a function to retrieve the number of files from a directory that match a pattern. I though it was fairly simple…. ?

PATTERN
“images/02-??23-1234-0?.jpg”
?? can be any of 01,05,28,18,66
? can be 1 to 5

GLOB won’t do, I’ve tried REGEX, but didn’t seem to work. Also tried open-dir(), but by then my head was about to explode.

Anyone please….

Thanks,

Barton.

[code=php]
$files = glob("images/02-{01,05,28,18,66}23-1234-0{1,2,3,4,5}.jpg", GLOB_BRACE);
[/code]
?

Many, many thanks,
