Question

hello this is my string

line('hello this is my \'first\' line')
line('hello this is my \'second\' line')
line('hello this is my \'third\' line')
line('hello this is my last line')

i want to use regex and get something like this

hello this is my \'first\' line
hello this is my \'second\' line
hello this is my \'third\' line
hello this is my last line

i am using this regex

line[(][']([^']*)['][)]

this regex just can get the last line because in each other lines ' ' exists. what should i do on this regex to get all line like result that i want?

Just please edit ([^']*) i just want to use this. (using start)

Try this:

preg_match("/line\('(.*)'\)/", $string, $output_array);

Edit.... preg_match_all("/line('([^']*)')/", $input_lines, $output_array);
