How to cut content before sentence?

Question

I have in my content a few paragraphs and want to cut everything before when I find for example: This is a comment statement

I tried with str_replace() but this is not possible with this method and with preg_replace but on every validation my content stay untouched.

Is there any better way to do so?

Take a look at strrpos and substr – Plancke Jun 13 '19 at 06:06 — Plancke, Jun 13 '19 at 06:06

str_replace will not work in you case. Try preg_replace and remove the first matching pattern -

preg_replace('/.+?(?=This is a comment statement)/', '', $your_string, 1)

it works with one-line string, can it be implemented for multiline strings? – Marco Tesini Jun 13 '19 at 07:33
