Re: Extract printable text from web page using preg_match

I believe it is better to use strpos() in this case because it's faster. <?php $start = strpos(strtolower($website_code), '<body>'); // not necessary $end = strpos(strtolower($website_code), '</body>'); $code = substr($website_code, $start, $end-$start); echo strip_tags($code); // clean text ?> This is very simple, but there are many HTML parsers out there if you want to do more complex stuff.

I am trying to write a regex function to extract the readable (visible, screen-rendered) portion of any web page. Specifically, I only want the text between the <body> tags, excluding any <script> or <style> tags within the document, also excluding comments. Has anyone here seen such a regex? Is it possible to do in one expression? ...Rene
