Important to note, it is not ls that's doing the search here, it's the shell. If you do echo [!a]bc you'll see similar results.

Hi,
I'm writing a script and have become stuck trying to define a variable (COMP) by adding an elapsed time (ELAPSE e.g 00:55) to a start time (START e.g 23:50).
Can anybody give me a solution as to how I can get a completion time in hh:mm from the variables above?
thanks

substr_count
SUBSTR_COUNT(3) 1 SUBSTR_COUNT(3)
substr_count - Count the number of substring occurrences
SYNOPSIS
int substr_count (string $haystack, string $needle, [int $offset], [int $length])
DESCRIPTION
substr_count(3) returns the number of times the $needle substring occurs in the $haystack string. Please note that $needle is case sensi-
tive.
Note
This function doesn't count overlapped substrings. See the example below!
PARAMETERS
o $haystack
- The string to search in
o $needle
- The substring to search for
o $offset
- The offset where to start counting
o $length
- The maximum length after the specified offset to search for the substring. It outputs a warning if the offset plus the length is
greater than the $haystack length.
RETURN VALUES
This function returns an integer.
CHANGELOG
+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
|Version | |
| | |
| | Description |
| | |
+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
| 5.1.0 | |
| | |
| | Added the $offset and the $length parameters |
| | |
+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
EXAMPLES
Example #1
A substr_count(3) example
<?php
$text = 'This is a test';
echo strlen($text); // 14
echo substr_count($text, 'is'); // 2
// the string is reduced to 's is a test', so it prints 1
echo substr_count($text, 'is', 3);
// the text is reduced to 's i', so it prints 0
echo substr_count($text, 'is', 3, 3);
// generates a warning because 5+10 > 14
echo substr_count($text, 'is', 5, 10);
// prints only 1, because it doesn't count overlapped substrings
$text2 = 'gcdgcdgcd';
echo substr_count($text2, 'gcdgcd');
?>
