eregi expression

Anon

I have the following html code that i want to search through

</tr>

</table>

<P></p>

The text that want is the 283.2 this number can be different it depends on what is on the web page im getting it from. So i did a fopen and fread on the page then tried the following eregi

$Grab = eregi("<td width=\"91\" height=\"28\" align=\"right\">(.*)</td>", $ReadFile, $Display);

Then i did a
echo $Display[1];

The first line of the echo was exactly what i needed but it also displays the rest of the page below the line i needed, which i didnt think i was selecting with the eregi expression that i used. All i want to get is the number 283.2 which lies between the html code

AND

</td>

Also I checked to see if <td width="91" height="28" align="right"> resides anywhere else in the code and it doesnt.

Thanks for any help you could give me.

I believe you need to define the start and end of the string in your eregi() function.
