    <p>The only way I could get this to work is by using:</p> <pre><code>$subject = 'My 00123450 "Ralph" ("France" is my country, "123" my age, ... , "an other text", ...)'; $pattern = '/\((?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?(?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?(?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?[^"]*?\)/'; preg_match_all($pattern, $subject, $matches); for ($i = 1; $i &lt; count($matches); $i++) { print($i.': '.$matches[$i][0].";\n"); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Output:</strong></p> <pre><code>1: France; 2: 123; 3: an other text; </code></pre> <p>That Regex would only work for <em>up to</em> 3 occurrences of "quoted strings" inside a set of brackets. You could however extend the regex string to grab <em>up to</em> N occurrences as follows:</p> <p>The regex to find 1 to N quoted strings within each set of parenthesis is:</p> <pre><code>n=1 /\((?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?[^"]*?\)/ n=2 /\((?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?(?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?[^"]*?\)/ n=3 /\((?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?(?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?(?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?[^"]*?\)/ </code></pre> <p>To find 1-N strings you repeat the section <code>(?:[^"\)]*"(.*?)")?</code> N times. For 1-100 strings within each set of parenthesis you would have to repeat that section 100 times - obviously the regex would start evaluating very slowly.</p> <p>I realise that isn't by any means ideal, but its my best effort at a 1 pass solution.</p> <p><strong>In 2 passes:</strong></p> <pre><code>$subject = 'My name is "Ralph" ("France" is my country, "123" my age, ... , "an other text", ...)'; $pattern = '/\(.*?\)/'; preg_match_all($pattern, $subject, $matches); $pattern2 = '/".*?"/'; preg_match_all($pattern2, $matches[0][0], $matches2); print_r($matches2); </code></pre> <p>Produces correct output in 2 passes. Eagerly awaiting an answer that shows how to do it in 1 though. I've tried every variation I could think of, but can't get it to include overlapping matches.</p>

    1. COThanks for your trouble. I thought it was a basic need provided by PCRE regex (useful for parsing BBCode or HTML maybe? I've to search in that direction). But for my needs I'm going to use a 2 passes solution, waiting for a hypothetical 1 passe solution.

    2. COI thought it would be simple for sure.. had to post my full failed attempt up because I wasted so much time trying to crack it ;)

    3. COI wonder if assertions ([link](http://www.php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.assertions.php)) can help. My idea is to get all strings in quotation marks if there is no open bracket after. But at the moment I don't succeed in getting assertions working (I never use them before). I'll keep you informed!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
