How to extract part of the path and the ending file name with Regex?
- by brasofilo
I need to build an associative array with the plugin name and the language file it uses in the following sequence:
/whatever/path/length/public_html/wp-content/plugins/adminimize/languages/adminimize-en_US.mo
/whatever/path/length/public_html/wp-content/plugins/audio-tube/lang/atp-en_US.mo
/whatever/path/length/public_html/wp-content/languages/en_US.mo
/whatever/path/length/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/languages/en_US.mo
Those are the language files WordPress is loading.
They are all inside /wp-content/, but with variable server paths.
I'm looking only for those inside the plugins folder, grab the plugin folder name and the filename.
Hipothetical case in PHP, where reg_extract_* functions are the parts I'm missing:
$plugins = array();
foreach( $big_array as $item )
{
$folder = reg_extract_folder( $item );
if( 'plugin' == $folder )
{
// "folder-name-after-plugins-folder"
$plugin_name = reg_extract_pname( $item );
// "ending-mo-file.mo"
$file_name = reg_extract_fname( $item );
$plugins[] = array( 'name' => $plugin_name, 'file' => $file_name );
}
}
[update]
Ok, so I was missing quite a basic function, pathinfo... :/
No problem to detect if /plugins/ is contained in the array.
But what about the plugin folder name?
