Regex expression to find more than one occurrence in the same string

Question

I am developing a template engine in PHP for learning issues because I am new to programming, and I would like a way to find more than one #include() in my view, because the one I have currently does not find all includes only the first.

[...] would like a way to find more than one #include() in my view, because the one I currently have does not find all includes only the first.

I suggest you use global flag in your regex, because according to you she already finds the first include and does not continue giving match.

Follow an example without the global flag and an example with the global flag

Example of use in your php program:

<?php
$subject = "string do seu arquivo que vai ser analisado aqui";
$pattern = '/(include .*)/'; //insira seu padrão regex aqui
preg_match_all($pattern, substr($subject,3), $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($matches);
?>

Note that instead of using preg_match is used preg_match_all, this causes all match occurrences of Pattern to be returned
