Regex from javascript

Question

I have this code:

<div class="dealOnContainer">

            <script type="text/javascript">
                product_countdown('25092', $('counterbox90'));
            </script>

</div>

and i'm trying whole day to catch seconds from this script ('25092') with regex but there is no idea. also i'm trying:

preg_match('#product_countdown(.*?)/#is', $string, $matches); 
  list($sekunde) = $matches;
  $data['sekunde'] = $sekunde;

but doesnt work. Please Help me. (sorry for my english)

It's pretty hard to tell what you're trying to do. It looks like you're using PHP, but you didn't tag this question with php. I don't see any xpath at all, either. — kojiro

You're matching from product_countdown(' until the nearest /, and that's much more than just the seconds part you're trying to match.

Try

#product_countdown\(\'(.*?)'\)#is

Now the .*? is forced to match between product_countdown(' and ').

If that parameter only ever contains a single integer number, use #product_countdown\(\'(\d*)'\)#i instead. That would be even better.

The s is unnecessary since there are no dots in the regex (and the s parameter modifies how dots are interpreted).
