    <p>Ok, so I have a message, can a regular expression be used to determine if there are square brackets within it, and if so, determine if they aren't closed.</p> <p>For example, and opening square bracket is like this: <code>[code]</code></p> <p>Closing is like this: <code>[/code]</code></p> <p>But there are way more than just the code bbc codes that can be within square brackets.</p> <p>What I'd like to be able to do, is use a variable that contains the entire message, and somehow determine if there are any words within square brackets that do not have a closing tag, which is denoted by: <code>[/</code> the word, and than <code>]</code> Opening tags ofcourse start with <code>[</code> the word, and than end with <code>]</code></p> <p>So, if I have something like this within a variable:</p> <p>Ok, so here is the overall script.php file with ALL of the Recent Module code in it. So we start with the Main function for retrieving the $params from the functions parameter...</p> <pre><code>[code]function module_recent($params) { global $context, $txt; // Grab the params, if they exist. if (is_array($params)) { </code></pre> <p>It would know that <code>[code]</code> was not closed off and add it at the end <code>[/code]</code></p> <p>But also, if I have something like this:</p> <pre><code>[table] [tr][td]Hello World[/td][/tr] [tr][td]This is not closed... </code></pre> <p>It should know that <code>[table]</code> and <code>[tr]</code> and <code>[td]</code> is not closed and it should add the closing tags into it at the end in this order:</p> <p><code>[/td]</code> and than <code>[/tr]</code> and finally <code>[/table]</code></p> <p>But there are also other tags like <code>[list][li][/li][/list]</code></p> <p>Would be great if I could populate all of the tags that can be within square brackets within an array and than call upon a function that would check if it has both opening and closing tags, that way it wouldn't effect non-bbc code tags that people put into messages just cause.</p> <p>Can anyone give me a hand on a Reg. Ex to do this with? Atleast if someone can help me get started on this that would be excellent.</p> <p>Thanks guys :)</p>

    1. COParsing problems are generally better handled with a parser than with a regex.

    3. COOk, the problem isn't parsing, the problem is adding closing tags to the body. The parsing is fine. This is already done via another program, I just need to close any opening tags within a variable that holds all of the text. Wondering if I can get any help on this, please?

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.
