PHP RegEx

vBulletin incorrectly handles some characters so I've uploaded my question here:

Send a message via Google Talk to requinix

You haven't described the problem that well.

Code:

/^(\[[^\]]+\]\s+)?([a-z0-9]{,20})\s+(\d+)%(.*)\s(\d+)/is

[edit] And a more descriptive title would be nice too.

Sorry, I had to go somewhere so I was quickly writing it up.

Basically I need to extract each item in the string into an array:

Also the Regular Expression but be versatile so that it can correctly process any of the strings included in the Pastebin.

Apparently it didn't like the {,20} syntax.

Code:

/^(\[[^\]]+\]\s+)?([a-z0-9]{0,20})\s+((\d+)\s+)?(\d+)%\s+(\S+)\s*(.*)\s(\d+)/is

[2] = name, [4] = number, [5] = percentage (without the %), [6] = second name, [7] = extra stuff, [8] = second number.

Beware character encoding problems.
