Regular Expressions Lowercase

[garrensilverwing]

preg_match_all('/\[(\w+) "([^"]+)"\]/', $game, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);

hey guys, I have this regular expression that is supposed to grab information from a large string. unfortunately it only works if i strtolwr the entire string first. i want it to grab information as is, without having to convert everything to lower case. this is causing me a headache because i am not very good with regular expressions. if you need more information let me know.

Add the i tag, this makes it case insensitive, although it does seem odd that it isn't accepting it currently as you don't appear to have anything case sensitive in there. Also, what are you trying to match, as you seem to have an odd layout for the ranges.

preg_match_all('/\[(\w+) "([^"]+)"\]/i', $game, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);

I'll try adding the /i and see if that helps

that is an example of what i am trying to match. i want to grab everything that is inside the brackets, maybe that will clear it up a little?
