Hello
I am trying to generate a regular expression to match all words before a group of characters which is in-. The problem I am having is limiting this to the first in-.
For example if I have a string:
Variable1-in-variable2
I can get these 2 variables by using the expression
/([^\.]+)-in- ([^\.]+)(.*)
But if variable2 has the characters in- the expressions to return the variable1 will also return characters in variable up to the in-.
The expression found to get around this problem is ((?
?!-in-).)*) which worked on my development server but when moved onto another server it returned a 500 internal server error because the htaccess is failing. When I checked the server logs I was getting the error:
RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/((??!-in-).)*)(-in-)([^\\.]+) (.*)'\n.
How would I rewrite the expression ((??!-in-).)*) to return the 1st variable up to the characters -in-?
Thanks
