Hi,
I'm struggling with this:
I would like to extract shortcode inserted in post with all atts and all into the do_shortcode() function.
For example, I have shortcode entered in post:
[icon icon_image="my_icon.png" size="large" style="dark"] , and I would really need it something like this:
<?php
$my_extracted_shortcode = function_with_shortcode_extraction();
do_shortcode($my_extracted_shortcode);
?>
So, problem is with obviously - function_with_shortcode_extraction() :). I tried something with get_shortcode_regex(), but it only returns all the shortcodes available ...
Anyone ?

Found a solution ! Here:
http://bavotasan.com/2011/run-a-shortcode-anywhere-in-wordpress/
So, i changed it a little bit, and added it into functions.php:
<?php
function extracted_shortcode()
{
global $post;
$pattern = get_shortcode_regex();
preg_match('/'.$pattern.'/s', $post->post_content, $matches);
if (is_array($matches) && $matches[2] == 'icon') {
$shortcode = $matches[0];
echo do_shortcode($shortcode);
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'extracted_shortcode' );
?>
and then later, in theme:
<?php extracted_shortcode(); ?>
Hope someone will have benefit of using this.

Minor (but important) tweaks, because WP_DEBUG throw some nasty errors. Here's the (hopefully) error free code:
<?php
if ( ! function_exists( 'icon_shortcode' ) ) {
function icon_shortcode()
{
global $post;
if($post) {
$pattern = get_shortcode_regex();
preg_match('/'.$pattern.'/s', $post->post_content, $matches);
if( $matches ) :
if (is_array($matches) && $matches[2] == 'icon') {
$shortcode = $matches[0];
echo do_shortcode($shortcode);
}
endif; //$matches
} // endif $post
}// end func. icon_shortcode
}
add_action( 'init', 'icon_shortcode' );
?>
