Regex, get string value between two characters

by

Your regular expression almost works, you just forgot to escape the period. Also, in PHP you need delimiters:

'/@(.*?)\./s'

The s is the DOTALL modifier.

Here’s a complete example of how you could use it in PHP:

$s="[email protected]";
$matches = array();
$t = preg_match('/@(.*?)\./s', $s, $matches);
print_r($matches[1]);

Output:

bar
