Re: RegExp for Forum-List-Code

untested: preq_replace('/\[\*\]([^(\[\*\])(<\/ul>)]*)/i','<li>$1</li>',$text); Jens Lehmann wrote:

Hi out there, I encountered a lot of problems while trying to convert a list in Forum-Code (like UBB-Code). [list] [*] item 1 [*] item 2 [*] item 3 [/list] should be converted to <ul> <li>item 1</li> <li>item 2</li> <li>item 3</li> </ul> I converted the first one to <ul> [*] item 1 [*] item 2 [*] item 3 </ul> Now I need a Regexp for converting every [*] foo to <li>foo</li>. I started with $text = preq_replace('/\[\*\]([^(\[\*\])]*)/i','<li>$1</li>',$text); The RegExp starts from [*] and saves every char in $1 until [*] occurs again. That's fine, but what I need is a RegExp which starts from [*] and saves every char in $1 until [*] OR </ul> occurs in $text. I tested a lot, but didn't find a solution. I'd be glad about any help.
