Regex perts..

[Jakez]

Can anyone help with this simple regex really quick, the shit always mind fucks me.

I need to split this:

ASDFjpgQWERjpg

into:

[0] => ASDFjpg [1] => QWERjpg

Can split it with 'jpg' but don't know how to keep the jpg on the end of them.

Please save me from this hour long headache

[borked]

/^([A-Z]+jpg)([A-Z]+jpg)$/

or if you're wanting php preg_match:

preg_match("/^([A-Z]+jpg)([A-Z]+jpg)$/", $matches);
var_dump($matches);

[borked]

or if the pattern occurs ad nauseum

preg_match_all("/([A-Z]+jpg)/", $matches);
var_dump($matches);

Should have mentioned there might be a long list of them and not just 2.

This is the best I could do and it works but it's messy and returns too much other shit

preg_match_all("/([A-Za-z0-9]{4}(jpg|jpeg|gif|png))/","ASDFjpgBLAHjpgQWERjpg",$matches);

Edit: ok this is better but still returning a bunch of "jpg" on the end.

preg_match_all("/[A-Za-z0-9]{4}(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)/","ASDFjpgBLAHjpgQWERjpg",$matches);

([A-Za-z0-9]{4}(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png)) to remove that jpg, etc. from results

[Jakez]

preg_match_all("/[A-Za-z0-9]{4}(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png)/","ASDFjpgBLAHjpgQWERjpg",$matches);

perfection! Thanks dudes!!

s/jpg/\.jpg/;

if can you use php

$x = ""; // that string with all that junk
$a = array(); // resulting array
$x str_replace('jpg', 'jpg|',$x);
$a = explode('|', $x)
var_dump($a);

that should do the trick
