Re: Extract HTML tags

If you can guarantee that your body tags are lowercase and have no args, then I would check out strtok() in the string functions. If your body tags are not that easy to match then I suggest you use either a regex or write a state machine to parse the string. A good html parsing state machine is in the php source for htmlstriptags. Note that Regex's are extremely expensive on large strings.
