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);
