Re: Regular Expression Problems-nearly there!

Hey Scott: > $pat = "<span class=subnav>(.+)<\/span>"; This is too greedy ^^^^ It's grabbing _everything_ up to the last </span>. Try this instead. $pat = "<span class=subnav>([[:alnum:][:space:]]*)</span>"; This new atom uses a bracket expression to only find letters, numbers and spaces. Thus the "<" for first </span> won't be grabbed by the atom. If you're going to have punctuation or other characters in these spans, you'll need to add them to the bracket expression I provided.
