create a php pattern to extract many lines of keywords in a block of text

How do you generate the above text block??

Are you looking for something like this

$line = "{'id':'139844','showcode':'Click to copy','copy':'want-this', 'url':";
$pattern = "/^{'id':'[0-9]+','showcode':'Click to copy','copy':'(.*)', 'url':.*$/";
$matches = array();
$result = preg_match($pattern, $line, $matches);
echo "<pre>"';
print_r($matches);
echo "</pre>"';

Select allOpen in new window

The text you want should be in $matches[1];
