Preg replace till dot including that

Question

I am having one line I have to replace that below is the line

/myhome/ishere/where/are.you.ha

Here I have a live regex

preg_match('/(.+\/)[^.]+(.+\.ha)/', $input_line, $output_array);

it results me live this

/myhome/ishere/where/.you.ha

But I need a answer like this

/myhome/ishere/where/you.ha

Please anyone help me to remove this dot.

Answer 1

You can use

/^(.+\/)[^.]*\.(.*\.ha)$/

See the regex demo. Details:

• ^ - start of a string
• (.+\/) - Group 1: any one or more chars other than line break chars as many as possible and then /
• [^.]* - zero or more chars other than a .
• \. - a . char
• (.*\.ha) - Group 2: any zero or more chars other than line break chars as many as possible and then .ha
• $ - end of a string
