Title: What regex would I need to test this string?

Disclaimer: I know the square root of sod all about regular expressions and no amount of searching seems to change that :-X

Ok, so I have several edits to the Tapatalk code to change the way it works in my forum.

One of the many changes I've made has been to detect and remove the signature applied by the Tapatalk plugin.

I've been using this to great effect so far

Code Select


$_POST['message'] = preg_replace("/Sent from my (\S*) using Tapatalk/", '', $_POST['message']);

This works a treat as it allows me to detect and remove text such as

Code (examples that work) Select


Sent from my XT108 using Tapatalk
Sent from my CDL-229 using Tapatalk

However it will not detect where the incoming string contains multiple components, such as:

Code (these aren't detected) Select


Sent from my Samsung FunFone using Tapatalk
Sent from my XT560 CCD using Tapatalk

Any regexperts in the house able to assist?

Cheers

that's because \S doesn't catch white spaces specifically, this works better

Code Select
