cleaner.php wildcard help

[inohaw2speal]

Hello.

I was wondering what would be the method of using wildcards with cleaner.php. I know you have to edit something involving preg_replace (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=294647), but am not quite sure.

For example:


<div class='quotetop'>("cheeseman":rfvahwk9)</div>

Can no one help me?

I do not believe you can use wildcards, at least I've never heard of this being available.

I know I saw a thread about editing pre_replace that has a sort of wildcard affect. Can you help me with this problem, anyways?

Around line 98 of cleaner.php need replacing to use regex in cleaner.php.

This will remove it :



$text = preg_replace("#<div class='quotetop'>(.*)\</div>#siU", '', $text);


This will turn it into a quote tag :



$text = preg_replace('#<div class=\'quotetop\'>\("(.*)":(.*)\)</div>#siU', "[QUOTE=$1]", $text);

Thanks Jerry, but now how would I do something like this:


[quote=USERNAME_WILDCARD_HERE][quote]To:


[quote=USERNAME_WILDCARD_HERE]There was just a problem when I did your suggestion, which added [quote=Username] in front of [quote]; so trying to fix that.

I have given this as an example, if you want more or custom help I suggest asking on vbulletin.org.

Why do I need to ask on vBulletin.org; are you refusing to help me?

But I'm not customizing it...

....or specialized scripts.

Please post at vbulletin.org for further help with this.

So if I need help with anything at all, I have to ask on vbulletin.org?

[Steve Machol]

No, of course not. If you took a few minutes to actually read through this board you would see that is not true.

I have answered the origional question and request, there are many examples in this forum to help and we do not custom code for each import.
