Re: @#$@# Reg Expressions

martin, jack .. cheers for the replies Jack.. I am trying to strip out all links in the page that is between the <a href and </a> I was using $html =GETSITE($url); $the_array=spliti("<A (.*)</A>", $html,-1); //spliti to avoid any case sensitivity. foreach($the_array AS $k) echo $k."<HR>"; I had given preg_split a go but just got flummoxed with the need to slash everything .. Martin .. I'd tried that .. but i get an array count of 0 from $the_array ..(from $the_array=split("<A ([^>]*)</A>", $html,-1); echo count($the_array); Jack Dempsey wrote:

Try putting a "?" after your quantifier for "non-greedy" matching.
