I'm what you might consider rather green, myself. I certainly wouldn't use this code for production but if you're just debugging or something then how about something like this: <?php

    $handle = @fopen('page.htm', 'r');
    if ($handle) {
        while (!feof($handle)) {
            $eos = trim(fgets($handle, 4096));
            if (strpos($eos,"<div>") !== FALSE) { $echo_output = TRUE; }
            if (strpos($eos,"<\div>") !== FALSE) { $echo_output = FALSE; }
            if ($echo_output == TRUE) { echo $eos; }
        }
        fclose($handle);
    }

Hello, I am trying read text out of a text that is inbetween two divs. Somehow this should be possible with regex, I just can't figure out how. Example: <div id="test"> bla blub </div> I would like to extract the text "bla blub" out of this example.

This might do the trick (not tested): preg_match( "/<div\s+[^>]*>([^<]*)<\/div>", $yourtext, $match ); print $match[1]; /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.8°C) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Sorry about the top-post. I forgot. :)

Thank you everbody. I figured it out without regex. It's not for production, just testing: $pos_1 = strpos($contents, $word1); $pos_2 = strpos($contents, $word2, $pos_1); $text = strip_tags(substr($contents, $pos_1, $pos_2 - $pos_1)); That works as well.
