Note Submitter: cp at ltur dot de ---- To Stabby at somewhere dot invalid, i guess you're not very familar with regexps. Here is the working version: <?php $pattern='/fred(.+)bloggs/isU'; $data="fred hello\nthere bloggs fred goodbye bloggs"; preg_match_all($pattern,$data,$repTxt,PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); print_r($repTxt); ?> 1. You have to set the 's' modifier, to make the '.' match newlines (see documentation) 2. if you write the capuring phrase like you did (.)+ it will capture a lot of single characters. If you change it to (.+) it will capture all allowed charakters. HTH Claus
