Hi
I've setup a filter which explodes on certain characters " - ", keeping the part before those characters - is it possible to do this but just for the last instance of those characters?
i.e.
"Name Product Name - Black" > "Name Product Name"
"Product - Name 2 - Black" > "Product - Name 2" rather than "Product"
Thanks in advance
Joey
Hi Joey,
Here's code for an "Explode Implode" filter that will do this - add to includes/filter.php before the closing PHP tag:
/*************************************************//* Explode Implode */
/*************************************************/
$filter_names["explodeImplode"] = "Explode Implode";
function filter_explodeImplodeConfigure($filter_data)
{
widget_textBox("Explode character or string","text",TRUE,$filter_data["text"],"",3);
widget_textBox("Remove","remove",TRUE,$filter_data["remove"],"",2);
}
function filter_explodeImplodeValidate($filter_data)
{
if (!$filter_data["text"])
{
widget_errorSet("text","required field");
}
if (!is_numeric($filter_data["remove"]))
{
widget_errorSet("remove","required numeric field");
}
}
function filter_explodeImplodeExec($filter_data,$text)
{
$parts = explode($filter_data["text"],$text);
$remove = intval($filter_data["remove"]);
$fn = (($remove < 0)?"array_pop":"array_shift");
for($i = 1;$i <= abs($remove); $i++) $fn($parts);
return implode($filter_data["text"],$parts);
}
Remove can be positive (remove first n items) or negative (remove last n items) so in this example, use
" - "(without the quotes but include the spaces) and -1 as the Remove value and that should do the trick...Cheers,
David.
