To squash the detail tags and everything between them: $msg = preg_replace('/\[details][^[]*\[\/details]/', '', $msg); To convert the [] delimiters to <> delimiters: $msg = preg_replace('/\[(\/)?details]/', "<\\1" . 'details>', $msg); To drop everything outside the details: $msg = preg_replace('/.*(\[details][^[]*\[\/details]).*/', "\\1", $msg); Enjoy, --Dan -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
