Yeah, it is.
preg_match_all("/\[f([0-9]+)f\]/i",$string,$matches);
$matches will then contain the numbers you're looking for (in an array).
Read the file or whatever you need, then do another replace to put the
file contents in place of the code.
If you read it like this:
$file['1234'] = "data from file 1234";
$file['3456'] = "data from file 3456";
You can use the following to replace the tags
preg_replace("/\[f([0-9]+)\]/ie",'$file[$1]',$string);
the last one is untested, but something like that works. The key is the
'e' modifier. If you know you're always going to have lower case 'f'
characters, then remove the 'i' modifier from each pattern.
