Mark, try uppercase U, like the following: (?U) ungreedy (shortest possible match), case-sensitive, on the same line. (?Usi) means ungreedy, ignore end-of-line, ignore case (?Ui) or (?iU) ungreedy, on the same line, ignore case.
Your example should be: > matchChunk(tRawText, "(?Usi)<B>(.+)</B>", tPos, tEnd) use the 'si' part for the times when the HTML is published with the <B> and </B> on separate lines and not always upper case. Thus (?si) is useful to grab the most text and forget case, such as (?si)<table>(.*)</TABLE> == everything between first to last, in order to get all the nested table data (?si)chapter 1(.*)chapter 2 everything between the headings, whether or not 'chapter' is proper/upper/lower case.

I can't seem to come up with it. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
