Intersection of two regular expressions
- by Henry
Hi,
Im looking for function (PHP will be the best), which returns true whether exists string matches both regexpA and regexpB.
Example 1:
$regexpA = '[0-9]+';
$regexpB = '[0-9]{2,3}';
hasRegularsIntersection($regexpA,$regexpB) returns TRUE because '12' matches both regexps
Example 2:
$regexpA = '[0-9]+';
$regexpB = '[a-z]+';
hasRegularsIntersection($regexpA,$regexpB) returns FALSE because numbers never matches literals.
Thanks for any suggestions how to solve this.
Henry
