PHP - Need help targeting words starting with @ and no spaces/periods/commas after

Hi I've used regex briefly in the past, not very often or complicated. I need help targeting words starting with @ and no spaces/periods/commas after

I'm using preg_match_all to get all of these items but i believe my regex expression is the issue.

So the string: "@hello devshed @hi"

should only return in an array hello and hi.

This is what i have now:

Code:

preg_match_all('/(@)(.*)[^\S]/', $string, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);

Thanks!!

I've just helped someone in the PHP forum with a similar situation

here's an excerpt:

PHP Code:


		
			
 $str = "Hello @kitty, i was talking to @northie about you. Thanks @sky.";



$pattern  = "/\@[A-Za-z0-9]+/";



preg_match_all($pattern,$str,$matches);



print_r($matches);

outputs:

Code:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => @kitty
            [1] => @northie
            [2] => @sky
        )

)
