Re: Regex to catch <p>s (weird result)

Pretty close. The only thing I'd suggest is a different way of wording step 2: Can contain anything but '>' until step 3. As for the switches/modifiers (Uis), check out: http://us.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php U = ungreedy i = case-insensitive (|p| matches 'p' and/or 'P') s = treat as single line - Jon L.
