I am developing a website in php. I want to get a sub string in between two strings My main string is "ABCDEF\nABCDEFGH\nABCDEFGHIJ\nABCDEFGHIJKLM\n". I need to get the sub string in between last 2 \n s.(ABCDEFGHIJKLM)... Can you please help me for this issue.
Thanks Sateesh
$words = 'ABCDEF\nABCDEFGH\nABCDEFGHIJ\nABCDEFGHIJKLM\n';
$words = explode('\n', $words);
$word = $words[count($words) - 2];
\ns."If the number of \n is unknown, you can use:
$string = "ABCDEF\nABCDEFGH\nABCDEFGHIJ\nABCDEFGHIJKLM\n";
$words = explode("\n", trim($string));
$last = array_pop($words);
echo $last;
Question: Do you want a newline ("\n") or literally '\n' (backslash n)?
$lines = explode("\n", trim($string));
$lastLine = $lines[count($lines) - 1];
or just (because when we trim the whitespaces away, we are looking for the last element)
$lastLine = end($lines);
var_dump(trim("abc\n")); string(3) "abc"explode() is executed after trim(), not before. This means, that only whitespaces (including newlines), that are not at the beginning, or the end of the string, remains before calling explode(). ideone.com/Qo8UYYou can use the Split() function to tokenise the string. You can then locate the relevant part of the string....

NOTE
As advised below the use of this function is no longer recomended as it has been Deprecated from the PHP spec from 5.3 onwards. The correct answer would be to use the Explode() function - as shown in the other answers above.
