Yes, of course, Kaveh - thanks for your speedy reply - again!
I got this the other day (you helped with it) to find a line of text (or
text and numbers) which end with a colon and a space -
<p>(.+?)\:
It's brilliant, but there are occasions when I want to avoid a pattern such
as <strong>123</strong>. The number varies, (from 1 to 999) and there may
be other numbers, but I want to include those. In other words, avoid lines
with numbers within the <strong></strong> tags.
At other times, I want to avoid a certain word (or html).
I hope that makes sense!
Andy
