I am a regex retard.
I am trying to pull keywords out of this crazy bbcode-like file, but only for bbcode-like code NOT enclosed in HTML comments. I currently have managed to create this regex:
'/(?<!<!--)\[!(\w+)::.*!\](?!-->)/U'
Which matches
[!keyword::crazy bbcode!]
and not
<!--[!keyword::crazy bbcode!]-->
That's a step in the right direction. But it includes in the match keywords within phrases like this:
<!-- A sentence including some [!keyword::crazy bbcode!]. -->
I want to ignore all bbcode within HTML quotes. How do I do this?
thanks
