REGEX获取“any_characters（（number，number））”

Question

I have this type of string:

some text that can contains anything ((12.1,5.2))another text that can contains anything ((1,8.7)) and so on...

And in fact I don't know how to get :

[0] some text that can contains anything ((12.1,5.2))

[1] another text that can contains anything ((1,8.7))

...

I tried: preg_match_all('#(.*\(\([0-9\.]+,[0-9\.]+\)\).*?)#',$lines,$match); but for sure it doesn't work. I also tried to add "U" option and ? after * and + but with no more results.

Thanks

Try with this variation on what you have:

 preg_match_all('#.*?\(\([0-9.]+,[0-9.]+\)\)#',$lines,$match);

The added question mark near the start is important , otherwise the dot will also consume the opening brackets. I also removed the part after the closing brackets, assuming your next line starts there.

Also you do not need the overall capture group.

The following

 if ($match !== false) {
      var_export ($match[0]);
 }

will output:

array (
  0 => 'some text that can contains anything ((12.1,5.2))',
  1 => 'another text that can contains anything ((1,8.7))',
)
