Hi, I have the following: <? $quote = "&#822[0|1]{1};"; $text = preg_replace( "/$quote(.*)$quote:$quote(.*)$quote/", "<a href='\\2'>\\1</a>", $text ); ?> It basically matches "link text":"url" with the added twist of having the quotes converted to &#8220; or &#8220; by a previous function. It works fine if there is one link found inside a string, but falls over horribly if there's two links inside a string. How can I improve the (.*) to exclude $quote ? Thanks, Justin French
