Re: Regular Expressions - Between HTML Tags

First, I imagine your file will have stuff before and after the <title> tags, so ditch the "^" and "$". Second, you don't want to replace text that's not the tags or between the tags, so drop the ".+" at the beginning. Third, use ".*" rather than ".+" between the <title> tags because, for some reason, it may have nothing there. So, the final expression would be: $tabtotrim = eregi_replace('<TITLE>.*</TITLE>','',$tabtotrim); Oh, by the way, turn line wrapping on for outgoing email messages so they'll quote properly when people reply.
