With current implementation, there are basically two ways to do it: 1. Use preg_match_all() to grab all your <b>..</b> chunks and then process them and use preg_replace() to replace them back in. 2. Use preg_replace() to find ' and " inside <b>..</b> chunks and escape them with \, then use another preg_replace() for the final result. Like I said, I plan to add something like /f modifier to preg_replace() so that you can just provide a name of a function that will be passed the contents of each match and the function will return the replacement string. Then you can do whatever you want. -Andrei Windows 2000 is certified not to crash more than once a day, so what is the bootup time, 24 hours? -- Sam Liddicott
