I need to split this format of strings CF12:10 into array like below,
[0] => CF, [1] => 12, [2] => 10
Numbers and String of the provided string can be any length. I have found the php preg_match function but don't know how to make regular expression for my case. Any solution would be highly appreciated.
You could use this regex to match the individual parts:
^(\D+)(\d+):(.*)$
It matches start of string, some number of non-digit characters (\D+), followed by some number of digits (\d+), a colon and some number of characters after the : and before end-of-line. In PHP you can use preg_match to then find all the matching groups:
$input = 'CF12:10';
preg_match('/^(\D+)(\d+):(.*)$/', $input, $matches);
array_shift($matches);
print_r($matches);
Output:
Array
(
[0] => CF
[1] => 12
[2] => 10
)
Try the following code if it helps you
$str = 'C12:10';
$arr = preg_match('~^(.*?)(\d+):(.*)~m', $str, $matches);
array_shift($matches);
echo '<pre>';print_r($matches);
