Hi everybody

 my name is Eloine

 & i am having problem to match a string character ...

 could you help me please

 Here is the group of character 

I need a regular expression to match it from start to end of the string

 "         <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><br>"

 please note, that i will use it in my PHP program

 thanks

<?php
$sourcestring="test         <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><br>test";
preg_match_all('/         <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><br>/',$sourcestring,$matches);
echo "<pre>".print_r($matches,true);
?>

or if you want to use a shorter version of the same pattern:

<?php
$sourcestring="your source string";
preg_match_all('/ {9}(<br>)\1(&nbsp;){4} \1\2{8} \1\1/',$sourcestring,$matches);
echo "<pre>".print_r($matches,true);
?>
