[FIXED] How to delete string with regex preg_replace php

Issue

i have full string like this:

Route::post('asdasdasdad/{param1}/{param2}', 'Admin\RouteController@a212e12e');.

and want to delete that route so in preg_replace i focus on

Route::post('asdasdasdad as start text and

Admin\RouteController@a212e12e'); as last text.

here what i try

preg_replace("/Route::post('asdasdasdad\(.*Admin\RouteController@a212e12e');\s*/s", "", $string);

but its not working.

Solution

you have some errors in your regex, some un-escaped regex characters. try this

preg_replace("/Route::post\('asdasdasdad.*Admin\\\\RouteController@a212e12e'\);\s*/s", "", $string); 

if you want to replace multiple lines in one go

preg_replace_all("/Route::post\('asdasdasdad.*Admin\\\\RouteController@a212e12e'\);\s*/s", "", $string); 

witch works as if you add the multi line modifier to your regex

$string = file_get_contents('route.php');
$string = preg_replace("/Route::post\('asdasdasdad.*Admin\\\\RouteController@a212e12e'\);\s*/s", "", $string);
echo $string;

you get the line with EOL removed
