Greetings,
Does anyone have any experience with Regular Expressions?
I usually use very simple Regular Expressions for my work, however I've been
trying to create a plugin for my church's website that will link all bible
references to the bible extension that I have installed.
I've managed to match the bible references correctly, however it is also
matching non bible references too, because it is not matching whole words
only. For example, it matches *blahluke 1*.
I've tried to use the Word boundary *\b* and a Negative lookbehind for chars
*(?<![a-zA-Z])*, but they do not seem to work.
My REGEX:
preg_match_all('/(?<reference>(?<book>('.*$booksRegex*
.'))\s(?<chapter>[0-9]{1,3})(:|\.)?(?<versefrom>[0-9]{1,3})?(?<separator>[,-]+)?(?<verseto>[0-9]{1,3})?)?/i',$row->text,$matches);
Where *$booksRegex* is a PHP variable containing all bible books and
possible abbreviations in Portuguese:
