PHP Regex correct syntax preg_split after any number of words and 1-3 digits -


i'm trying break down rss feed sports scores

example data

san diego 4 chicago cubs 2 miami 2 philadelphia 7 boston 3 toronto 1 washington 3 atlanta 1 chicago sox 3 texas 1 st. louis 6 milwaukee 5

the rss gives me 1 flowing string san diego 4 chicago cubs 2 , i'm trying break down better use.

basically im trying first split san diego 4 chicago cubs 2 4 variables, $home_team, $home_score, $away_team, $away_score.

but, home team 1 word or more, score 1 digit or 3 i've been trying figure out best regular expression split in correct format.

does have ideas?

update

code i'm using for, i'm pulling xml of mlb games today, filtering out games labeled final meaning final score , im trying break down further there..

<?php      $xml = simplexml_load_file("http://feeds.feedburner.com/mpiii/mlb?format=xml");      foreach($xml->channel->item $item){    if(preg_match('/(final)/', $item->title, $matches) || preg_match('/(postponed)/',   $item->title, $matches)){  if(preg_match('/(postponed)/', $item->title, $matches)){     continue; } $string = $item->title; $patterns = array(); $patterns[0] = '/\\(final\\)/'; $patterns[1] = '/\\(postponed\\)/'; $replacements = array(); $replacements[1] = ''; $replacements[0] = ''; $string = preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string);    $keywords = preg_match("^(.*?) ([0-9]{1,3}) (.*?) ([0-9]{1,3})$", $string);  echo $keywords[1]."<br/>";  }  }        ?>

you can split string based on sequence of digits, assuming team names don't contain digits :)

$s = 'san diego 4 chicago cubs 2';  list($home_team, $home_score, $away_team, $away_score) = array_filter(   array_map('trim',      preg_split('/\b(\d+)\b/', $s, -1, preg_split_delim_capture)   ), 'strlen');

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).
