Hi, I am trying to refine a preg_match_all by finding the second occurrence of a period then a space:

<?php

$str = "East Winds 20 knots. Gusts to 25 knots. Waters a moderate chop.  Slight chance of showers.";

preg_match_all ('/(^)((.|\n)+?)(\.\s{2})/',$str, $matches);

$dataarray=$matches[2];
foreach ($dataarray as $value)
{ echo $value; }
?>

But it does not work: the {2} occurrence is incorrect.

I have to use preg_match_all because I a scraping dynamic HTML.

I want to capture this from the string:

East Winds 20 knots. Gusts to 25 knots.

Any ideas? Thx
