hi

i have a large text blog that i want to extract strings out of. 
the large text blob looks like "Name: john doe Date: 060604
 Subject: this is subject Text: <long text blob>";

i want to just extract 'john doe' '060604' and 'this is subject'
from the text blob

can i do this w mysql queries, or do i have to use regular expressions in php or perl 
to get substrings out after the query?

thanks
redmond
