Regular expression for preg_split() by new line [duplicate]

Question

This is my file:

0.0 5.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 2.0 5.0 2.0 1.0 5.0 5.0 1.0 2.0 7.1 5.0
5.0 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 2.0 5.0 1.0 5.0 6.0 6.0 6.0 6.0 1.0 7.1
5.0 5.0 0.0 6.0 1.0 6.0 5.0 5.0 1.0 6.0 5.0 7.0 1.0 5.0 6.0
6.0 5.0 6.0 0.0 5.0 2.0 1.0 6.0 5.0 6.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 5.0
7.0 5.0 1.0 5.0 0.0 7.0 1.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 5.0 6.0 2.0 2.0 5.0
2.0 2.0 6.0 2.0 7.0 0.0 5.0 5.0 6.0 5.0 2.0 5.0 1.0 2.0 5.0
5.0 5.0 5.0 1.0 1.0 5.0 0.0 2.0 6.0 1.0 5.0 7.0 5.0 1.0 6.0
7.0 1.0 5.0 1.0 2.0 2.0 1.0 5.0 6.0 5.0 2.0 6.0 7.0 0.0 5.0
5.0 7.0 6.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 6.0 2.0 6.0 2.0 1.0 5.0 6.0 5.0 0.0

I would split it by \n and have returned in one array each row. How can I do the regular expression?

$rows = preg_split('$regular_expression', $content);

After I will extract all the rows, how can I extract each value separated by backspace?

$values_in_a_row = preg_split('$regular_expression', $a_row);

Here the text were I am trying to do it http://regexr.com?2v23c .

Answer 1

There isn't any need for regular expressions:

<?php
    $data = explode("\n", $data); // preg_split('#\n#', $data); Please don't
    foreach($data as &$row) {
        $row = explode(' ', $row); // preg_split('#\s#', $row); Seriously
    }
    print_r($data);
?>

<test></test>

Answer 2

If you are having issues because you don't know if each newline is just \n or \r\n or \r then none of the above answers work and a regexp works. What I did was

$lines = preg_split("/(\r\n|\n|\r)/",$content);

Then you can use the accepted answer to split the spaces.

Answer 3

$rowsapart = preg_split("/\n/",$rowstogether);

$colspart = preg_split("/\s/",$colstogether);
