Regular expression help

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

I'm trying to achieve a better BBCode parser (for my wiki) using regex to do tables.

At the moment, I have a table command and such, but it does not allow attributes like a real table. What I want is a simple preg function that allows the parser to detect a [table] tag and convert it directly to html, including any attributes inside it (all of the attributes are converted raw). The same goes for [row], [data], and [heading] commands, but those would simply be tweaked versions of the table tag.

 

Anybody willing to help?

Sure, why not.

 

In my opinion, the easiest way of doing this is by use of the 'e' selector that you get with PCRE. i.e. do a preg for the [table] tag, then pass the contents to a function which parses the interior. Shouldn't be too hard

Thanks dave, but Aeternus gave me a nifty solution for it as well. Works rather nicely.

 

I should get myself to learn proper regex some day.

Damn that Aeturnus fellow. I can see I'm going to have to G:Line him and his silly regex fixes
