Parsing a String – I need the last few characters only. How?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I have a string, let’s say:

[QUOTE]

This is string #4455

[/QUOTE]

I want to take this string and only show the “4455” at the end. Is there any way I can cut this string from the end until it touches the # sign? I suppose you can say I’m using the octothorpe as my delimiter. How would I do this?

Thanks.

@thraddashDec 17.2009 — There are multiple ways you can approach this:

[code=php]$string = 'This is string #4455';
echo $string . '<br />';

//REGULAR EXPRESSION
if (preg_match('/(d+)$/', $string, $matches)) {
echo $matches[1] . '<br />';
}

//SPLITTING
$parts = explode('#', $string);
echo array_pop($parts);[/code]

@chris22Dec 17.2009 — hi, you can do it this way:

[code=php]
$str = "This is string #4455";

$digits = substr($str,strpos($str,'#'));

[/code]
