Looking to REGEX a javascript doc.write

Hello REGEX masters
As the title states I am trying to REGEX a javascript statement:
Code: Select all
document.write(formatTime('%I:%M%p', 1167096600))
Everything stays the same exept the 10digit numb. I have something like this but it doesn't work:
Code: Select all
$js_date="^(document\.write\(formatTime\(\'\%I\:\%M\%p\',)\s([0-9]{10})(\)\))$";
I'm also curious as to why some regular expressions are wrapped in double and single quots with an i stuck in there like this below. I have not found references on it.

Hi.
Code: Select all
$js_date="^(document\.write\(formatTime\(\'\%I\:\%M\%p\',)\s([0-9]{10})(\)\))$";
Make sure you are only escaping characters that need to be escaped. You can also use the /d character instead of a number range.

You can use any characters as delimeters. The more obvious ones are #, $, etc.

I'm not where I can test ATM, but it appears to e a syntax problem:
$js_date="^(document\.write\(formatTime\(\'\%I\:\%M\%p\',)\s([0-9]{10})(\)\))$";

Thank you for you're input,
After reading this forums tutorial, I guess I have to learn the perl REGEX syntax while using pregmatch and preg_replace. Oh well, more stuff to learn!
this code works!
Code: Select all
"/document\.write\(formatTime\('%I:%M%p', \d{10}\)\)/"
Code: Select all
$js_strg="document.write(formatTime('%I:%M%p', 1167096600))"
if (preg_match("/document\.write\(formatTime\('%I:%M%p', \d{10}\)\)/", $js_strg)) {
echo "this string is, ";
echo $js_strg;
} else {
echo "comprende nota senior";
}
