Re: AW: [PHP] regular expresion

Hi! strip_tags() would not solve his problem, although that was my first thought as well. To skip tags, including content, where content contains certain words is possible. But to me the problem occurs with nested tags. What do you want to do when you meet tables? Here is an example that solves you're example, and similar situations, but not much else. preg_match_all("/<(?!body|script|etc)(\w+)[^>]*>((?>(?!eee|etc|<\/ \\1>).)*)<\/\\1>/s",$text,$match); print_r($match[2]); will return [0] => aaa jjjj mmmm dddd yyyy ssss [1] => aaa hhh mmmm dddd yyyy ssss [2] => aaa kkkk mmmm dddd yyyy ssss (?!body|script|etc) is used to filter unwanted tags, and in (?!eee|etc|<\/\\1>) you can put your filter words. Hope this helps you anyway. -- Stian On Wed, 2 Feb 2005 11:36:26 +0100, Mirco Blitz <webmaster@lindworm.de> wrote:
