PHP Regex pulling text after period and before space -

-

i'm attempting pull part out of different varying strings, , having hard time getting correct regex so. here few examples of trying pull from:

  1. ag055.ma - magnum (want return ma)
  2. wi460.16 - (want return 16)
  3. ag055.qb (want return qb)

so basically, want pull characters after period, before space. nothing else before or after. can give me hand getting correct regex?

this should work:

<?php preg_match( '/\.([^ ]+)/', $text, $matches );  print_r( $matches ); ?>

output:

array (     [0] => .ma     [1] => ma )  array (     [0] => .16     [1] => 16 )  array (     [0] => .qb     [1] => qb )

the regex saying find . character, characters after not space character. + makes return matches there non-space character after dot.

All overlapping substrings matching a java regex -

is there api method returns (possibly overlapping) substrings match regular expression? for example, have text string: string t = 04/31 412-555-1235; , , have pattern: pattern p = new pattern("\\d\\d+"); matches strings of 2 or more characters. the matches are: 04, 31, 412, 555, 1235. how overlapping matches? i want code return: 04, 31, 41, 412, 12, 55, 555, 55, 12, 123, 1235, 23, 235, 35. theoretically should possible -- there obvious o(n^2) algorithm enumerates , checks substrings against pattern. edit rather enumerating substrings, safer use region(int start, int end) method in matcher . checking pattern against separate, extracted substring might change result of match (e.g. if there non-capturing group or word boundary check @ start/end of pattern). edit 2 actually, it's unclear whether region() expect zero-width matches. specification vague, , experiments yield disappointing results. for example: string line = "xx90xx"; strin...

c++ - Using OpenSSL in a multi-threaded application -

i have been writing soap client application in c++ on ubuntu using openssl https transport , pthreads threading. have number of threads - 1 central data acquisition thread periodically gets worker threads make soap requests via shared mutex protected queues. reading documentation openssl found is openssl thread-safe? in openssl faq describes mechanisms required ensure thread safety when using openssl. implemented , works fine. the reason question conceptual difficulty really. thinking implementing same functionality application has already, instead of using threads, create 2 seperate applications : 1 worker thread (of multiple copies running) , main data acquisition thread. use tcp sockets communicate between 2 rather mutex protected queues. may bad idea not important - confusing me would have implement same functions required ensure openssl thread safety in second approach or not? my guess not have , treated independent (indeed surely must many applications use openssl) re...
