Need help with RegEx

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Everyone,

I am having a bit of problems wrapping my head around regular expressions. I 
thought I had a good grip on them but, for some reason, the expression I've 
created below simply doesn't work! Basically, I need to retreive all of the 
text between two unique and specific tags but I don't need the tag text. So 
let's say that the tag is

<tag lang='ttt'>THIS IS A TEST</tag>

I would need to retreive THIS IS A TEST only and nothing else.

Now, a bit more information: I am using cURL to retreive the entire contents 
of a webpage into a variable. I am then trying to perform the following 
regular expression on the retreived text:

$trans_text = preg_match("\/<div id=result_box dir=ltr>(.+?)<\/div>/");

The problem is that when I echo the value of $trans_text variable, I end up 
with the entire HTML of the page.

Can anyone clue me in to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Anthony
