PHP StringScanner::skipUntil Examples

skipUntil() public method

Look ahead to match +pattern+, and advance the scan pointer to the _end_ of the match. Return the number of characters advanced, or +null+ if the match was unsuccessful. It's similar to #scanUntil, but without returning the intervening string.

public skipUntil ( string $pattern ) : string
$pattern	string
return	string	The new pointer position
