使用PCRE正则表达式从文本中解析电子邮件标头

时间:2021-02-15 22:05:56

I need to parse (split) a text file containing emails exported from Outlook. I am splitting it using preg_split with PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE

我需要解析(拆分)包含从Outlook导出的电子邮件的文本文件。我使用preg_split与PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY |分割它PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE

My goal is to capture message header section with the regular expression, i.e. starting from "From:" line and ending with the blank line before message body.

我的目标是使用正则表达式捕获邮件头部分,即从“From:”行开始,以邮件正文之前的空行结束。

Constraints:

  • Multilingual field names expected
  • 预期多语言字段名称

  • Number of header fields varies (CC, BCC, Attachments)
  • 标题字段数量不同(CC,BCC,附件)

  • Some fields may be on more than one line (To, CC, BCC, Subject, Attachments)
  • 某些字段可能位于多行(To,CC,BCC,Subject,Attachments)

the text file is pre-treated: replace multiple spaces and tabs with single space, replace leading and trailing spaces.

预处理文本文件:用单个空格替换多个空格和制表符,替换前导和尾随空格。

I have been at it whole day, cannot get the last part to work. It does work on [gskinner regex testing page]: http://regexr.com?36v27 , but not in php.

我一整天都在这里,不能让最后一部分工作。它适用于[gskinner regex测试页面]:http://regexr.com?36v27,但不适用于php。

Regex:

preg_match(
                 '/                         # delimiter
                (                           # capturing group start
                [\ A-Z][a-z]+:.+\(.+\)\R    # From: field
                [A-Z][a-z]+:.+\R            # Sent: fields
                [A-Z][a-z]+:.+\R            # To: field (1st line)
                (?:.+\R)+              # any additional header lines, before blank line (To, CC, BCC, Subject, Attachments)
                )                           # capturing group end
                # delimiter + modifiers /x',$text_clean, $matches);
        echo '<b>Matches: '.count($matches).'</b>';
        print_r($matches);   

I am having problem getting additional header lines:

我在获取其他标题行时遇到问题:

(?:.+\R)+              # any additional header lines...

Any help is appreciated

The shortest way is to use preg_match_all with a lazy quantifier:

最简单的方法是使用preg_match_all和一个惰性量词:

preg_match_all('/^From.*?\R\R/ims', $mails, $matches);
print_r($matches);

Thanks everyone for input, however I figured it using my method. A few points are confusing to me, but working solution is further below.

谢谢大家的意见,但我想用它的方法。有几点让我很困惑,但工作解决方案还在下面。

  1. Why preg_match returns first result twice instead of two matches:(http://www.ideone.com/Xj6aaF)1

    为什么preg_match返回第一个结果两次而不是两次匹配:(http://www.ideone.com/Xj6aaF)1

  2. (?:.+\R)+ The dot seems to match any character AND NO CHARACTERS, that's why it kept on missing blank lines. I finid that strange - isn't the + supposed to be 1 or more quantifier?

    (?:。+ \ R)+点似乎匹配任何字符和没有字符,这就是为什么它保持缺少空白行。我觉得奇怪 - 不是+应该是1个或更多量词?

Anyway, when I changed my regex pattern to (?:\S.+\R)+ it does what I want using preg_split.

无论如何,当我将我的正则表达式模式更改为(?:\ S。+ \ R)+时,它使用preg_split执行我想要的操作。

Demo

Though, technically my problem is solved, I would love someone to explain the above two points.

虽然从技术上讲我的问题已经解决,但我希望有人能够解释以上两点。
