Hi I'm trying to write a pattern that catches every occurrence of a word as long as that word is not inside an html tag.
e.g I want to catch `Hello World` but not <img title="Hello World" /> The closest I got was (?!<.*?)Hello World(?![^<>]*?>) which works OK in BBEdit search, but, and here's where I apologise for possibly taking this question off topic - not in a PHP page (where it looks like this: $pattern = "'(?!{.*?)$string(?![^{}]*?})'si"; ) where I'm using it to highlight certain words. Does anyone with a lot more experience with regular expressions know the (more than likely obvious) way to make this work in PHP too?
