hi henry, this could be an interesting discussion. i think there can be a solution for every problem. it's only a question of the logic. the main problem in this example are white spaces in every kind (space, tab, newline, carriage return, ...) and there are solutions in regex. a little example: '/( |\t|\n|\r)*/' checks optional white spaces you can also give '\s*' a try (any whitespace char). maybe it also works with '\r\n'? just some thoughts. hth SVEN ps: it surely is possible to ignore everything between '<script></script>', isn't it?
