Do you have the example regex so far? I'd suggest maybe <b[^r] might just do what you want -----Original Message----- From: Jason Morehouse [mailto:jm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 13 January 2005 21:07 To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: regex help Hello, I normally can take a bit of regex fun, but not this time. Simple enough, in theory... I need to match (count) all of the bold tags in a string, including ones with embedded styles (or whatever else can go in there). <b> and <b style="color:red">. My attempts keep matching <br> as well.
