| Post subject: | Regex to find the last word in the string |
Hello All, As this is my first post and I am posting a REGEX question. I am using a REGEX to get the last word from the string and it is working fine only if it does not have a special characters. test02 cIuTpSUmJOeKyp6Pvc0w Regex:\s(\w+)$ Working fine - cIuTpSUmJOeKyp6Pvc0w It is not working if it has special characters like $,#,-,@,). test02 cIuTpSUm#JOeKyp6Pvc0w Regex:\s(\w+)$ Not Working - Can someone provide the regex for fetching the last word from the string? Looking forward for the response from the experts. Regards MIAJ |

You have to consider what a "word" is. Do you mean anything besides whitespace? Then that's what you need to put in the regex. |

Yes a word can have spaces before and after. Also main concern is the word includes special characters like %,#,#,! basically all the options a password can have. |

Okay, so does that mean you don't understand what I said? And now you're saying there could be spaces after, which means you have to alter the regex even further because it currently doesn't allow that. |

How about just: strrchr(rtrim($str), ' '); http://php.net/manual/en/function.strrchr.php |
