Regex to Match White Space or End of String
- by Kirk
I'm trying to find every instance of @username in comment text and replace it with a link. Here's my PHP so far:
$comment = preg_replace('/@(.+?)\s/', '<a href="/users/${1}/">@${1}</a> ', $comment);
The only problem is the regex is dependent upon there being whitespace after the @username reference. Can anyone help me tweak this so it will also match if it is at the end of the string?
