Hello and first of all happy 2nd xmas day.
I'm trying to convert all urls in a text that aren't surrounded by double-quotes to hyperlinks... no matter what I do I don't get the proper result, either I match every url or nothing.
Any help would be great, cheers!
So what pattern are you using right now?
Thanks for replying.
I used like I said several preg_replace patterns, the point is that I dont know how I should find content that isn't surrounded by quotes.
If I know that part I can find it out myself. :D
That's why I wanted to see what you had, to see the best way to suggest it.
(?<!foo)bar -> matches bar when not followed by foo
(?!foo)bar -> matches bar when not followed by foo
I think you'll want:
(?<!foo)bar(?!foo)
