#8275 — change a string where have number after a word

"arts 4, tested 4, passenger 2"

"arts 4, tested 4, passenger 2, arrived 2"

"arrived 2, tested 4, passenger 2, arts 4"

how can change this type of string for to have only the word with 4 at the
end?


so
"arts 4, tested 4"
first steps taht remove the words with 2 at the end;
and 2nd steps for to have
"arts, tested"

and if with regex the solution is also more fast

To begin, it's far easier to use a regular expression. The regex I will
use is the following:

	/(\w+)\s(4,|4$)/

And here's the PHP code I wrote up:

	<?php
	$string = 'arrived 2, tested 4, passenger 2, arts 4';
	$regex = '/(\w+)\s(4,|4$)/';
	$matches = array();
	
	if (preg_match_all($regex, $string, $matches)) {
		$actualMatches = array_shift($matches);
		$string = implode(' ', $actualMatches);
	}
	
	echo "$string\n";
	?>

I'm sure that there's a better way to do this, but my method appears to
work well.

for to complete the code
if I have
 "arts color 4, tested well 4, passenger 2, arrived 2"

or 
"arts color bb 4, tested well 4, passenger 2, arrived 2"


extract this
"arts color bb 4, tested well 4"

at moment extract so
bb 4, well 4,


and also how have this 
"arts color bb, tested well"

In that case, I would do the following:

1. Explode the string using "," as the delimiter.
2. Remove any array elements in the split string that do not match /\s4$/.
3. Implode the string.

Couple of questions first.

1) From your example it looks like the comma separated values. it this 
the case were every value ends with a number?

2) Do the you want and NON-4 numeric value !=2 and make it 4?

3) Will the numeric values only be a single digit like 3 and !>9 like 15?

4) Do you need the result to be a single string or are you using this in 
an array?

If I assume you have a CVA string and you want to change any single 
digit trialling number !=4 to be 4 and you need to have it back as 
single CSV string then one way.

Depends on your conditions

function always_single_digit($v){
// If always each entry always has a single digit number
// you can simply chop off the last as number 4
   return substr($v, 0, -1) . '4';
}

function optional_multidigit($v){
// Change if trailing one or more digit number
   return preg_replace('/\d+$/', '4', $v);
}

function only_if_2($v){
// Change only if trailing digit is 2
   return preg_replace('/2$/', '4', $v);
}

$before="arts color bb 4, tested well 4, passenger 2, arrived 2, not_two 
5, multidigit 12";

$a=explode(',', $before);

print "String before: $before\n";

print 'Only single digit: ' . implode(',', 
array_map("always_single_digit", $a)) . "\n";

print 'Possibly multidigit: ' . implode(',', 
array_map("optional_multidigit", $a)). "\n";

print 'Only if #2: ' . implode(',', array_map("only_if_2", $a)). "\n";

every value ends with one space and a number  
that can also be so I can have this type of words

aaa 4,
aafagagsg 4,
afgsgfs 2,
a affs 4,
aa adfdf 2,
afsf ercrrt s 4


for the oteher question answer after

Then the simplest is what I offered with function always_single_digit() 
where you just chop off the last character and then replace with '4'.

function always_single_digit($v){
// If always each entry always has a single digit number
// you can simply chop off the last as number 4
   return substr($v, 0, -1) . '4';
}

//your sample
$str="aaa 4,aafagagsg 4,afgsgfs 2,a affs 4,aa adfdf 2 afsf ercrrt s 4";
//split into array on ','
$arry=explode(',', $str);
//use array_map to use callback in each element to replace with 4
print implode(',', array_map("always_single_digit", $arry));

I must to do this


$string="tested-x 4, mc dnd's 4, passenger 2, arrived 2, a.jhjhj.rts 
4, te_ry4e_ll 4, pas44nger 2";

1st steps
$arr=explode(', ', $string);

and have
1---
Array ( [0] => tested-x 4 
        [1] => mc dnd's 4
        [2] => passenger 2 
        [3] => arrived 2 
        [4] => a.jhjhj.rts 4 
        [5] => te_ry4e_12 4 
        [6] => pas44nger 2 )
        
         
now I must remove all elements where last two words aren't space4 
[0] => tested-x 4   ok remain in the array
[3] => arrived 2    remove from array

and have this
2---
Array ( [0] => tested-x 4 
        [1] => mc dnd's 4
         
         
        [4] => a.jhjhj.rts 4 
        [5] => te_ry4e_12 4 
         )


other step is remove space4 for to have this array
3---
Array ( [0] => tested-x 
        [1] => mc dnd's
        [2] => a.jhjhj.rts
        [3] => te_ry4e_12
         )

If you are worried about leading and trailing whitespace in each element 
then just add the 'trim' function


function always_single_digit($v){
	// If always each entry always has a single digit number
	// you can simply chop off the last as number 4
	//trim whitespace first
	return substr(trim($v), 0, -1) . '4';
}
