Match multiple lines of text with specific format

I am sending a few telnet cmds to a device and reading back its result values in a array.

I need to filter the data, but I’m not sure if preg_split() or preg_match() is better suited.

After isolating the desired rows of text, I need to store several portions of text in a mysql table — for each row.

All the results that need to be stored are formatted like: 0/0 x x xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx x x x x x.

Below is the code that I am using, but it’s just filtering the first array column.

 $show_pon[0] = "show ont info 1 all";
 $show_pon[1] = "show ont info 2 all";
 $show_pon[2] = "show ont info 3 all";
 $show_pon[3] = "show ont info 4 all";
 $show_pon[4] = "show ont info 5 all";
 $show_pon[5] = "show ont info 6 all";
 $show_pon[6] = "show ont info 7 all";
 $show_pon[7] = "show ont info 8 all";
 $show_pon[8] = "show ont info 9 all";
 $show_pon[9] = "show ont info 10 all";
 $show_pon[10] = "show ont info 11 all";
 $show_pon[11] = "show ont info 12 all";
 $show_pon[12] = "show ont info 13 all";
 $show_pon[13] = "show ont info 14 all";
 $show_pon[14] = "show ont info 15 all";
 $show_pon[15] = "show ont info 16 all";   
 
 $telnet->DoCommand($show_pon, $data_response);
 
 $sections = preg_split('/-{50,}s*r?n/s', $data_response);

Its actually sending 16 different cmds.. and the output reply to array $sections

the output below is..

and now i need to filter this arrays, and just extract or store in a different array just the arrays starting with

0/0 x x xxxxxxxxxx x x x x x

which basicaly are the cmds replys, which i have requested the 16 cmds which are 16 different ports on the device, and each port replied devices connected on that port with the data of that device

0/0 1 1 00:00:00:00:00 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

and below update the full telnet cmd reply log for better understanding

Answer

Don’t bother using preg_split() to cut your text into sections. It looks like you are saving the data regardless of what section it is in.

Use preg_match_all() with an optional last capture group.

^ means “match the start of a line” because of the m pattern modifier.

h* means “match zero or more whitespace characters that do not represent a newline / line break”.

h+ means the same as above except it requires one or more occurrences.

The final horizontal space and visible characters are optional — this is what the non-capturing group with ? does.

Code: (Demo)

var_export(
    preg_match_all(
        '~^h*(d+/d+)h+(d+)h+(d+)h+([A-Fd]{2}(?::[A-Fd]{2}){5})h+(S+)h+(S+)h+(S+)h+(S+)(?:h+(S+))?~m',
        $response,
        $m,
        PREG_SET_ORDER
    )
    ? $m
    : 'no matches'
);

See the demo for the sample text and output.
