Hello Two things: First wouldn't it be faster to use strpos and substr if you simply have to find the literate <!-- start_tag --> and <!-- end_tag -->. Second: If you use your regex and you have something like "<!-- start_tag --> This is some text to grasp<!-- end_tag --> this is text I don't want <!-- start_tag --> This is some other text I want<!-- end_tag -->" The result would be " This is some text to grasp<!-- end_tag --> this is text I don't want <!-- start_tag --> This is some other text I want". You should use the " *+" quantifier in order to only grab the content " This is some text to grasp". Regards Stefan Langer
