Greetings, I have to remove any occurrence of text between brackets. For example:
Eg: [Text in brackets] Text outside brackets. The output would be: "Text outside brackets";
I tried to use the following Regex:
$string = "[Texto entre colchetes] Texto fora do colchetes";
$String = preg_replace("[\/(.*?)\]/",'',$string);
echo $string;
But I did not succeed.
Try this (remove spaces before or after brackets):
$string = "[Texto entre colchetes] Texto fora do colchetes";
$String = preg_replace("\s*\[.*?\]\s*",'',$string);
echo $string;
\s remove whitespace followed by * to get more than one.
\[ and \] escapes the character [ and ] because regex uses it.
The rest is the same as what you entered in the question.
Simply deselect the brackets with the escape character ( \ ) and say that one or more occurrences should be replaced with + .
This regular expression will fail in cases where the string is poorly formatted, for example: [texto dentro] texto fora]]]]
$string = "[Texto entre colchetes] Texto fora do colchetes [outro texto] [[asdfasdf]]";
$novo = preg_replace("/\[+[\w\s]+\]+/i",'',$string);
echo $novo;
Result:
Entrda: [Texto entre colchetes] Texto fora do colchetes [outro texto] [[asdfasdf]]
Saída: Texto fora do colchetes
