Regex Question

[SoloHandSolo]

Greetings All,

I have a fairly simple question but cant seem to fathom out how to fix it.

If i have a string such as :

$string = "This is a string of Text blah blah";

All i need to do is preform a regex on that string to pull and store in an array whatever is between and tags.

So in this example I should end up with an array containing "a" and "Text"

Im new to regex's and was trying this :

ereg ("**(.*)**", $String, $NewArray);

But have been getting some strange results where its storing a match but also storing the ** parts aswell whereas I just need whats in between.

Could anyone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks in Advance

Edit Bah this forums formatting has screwed up the display. Ive changed the examples to ** now but they were originally tags.

why not use [man]split[/man]?

I think the example in the manual is of more use.

<?php
preg_match_all ("|<[^>]+>(.*)</[^>]+>|U", 
    "<b>example: </b><div align=left>this is a test</div>", 
    $out, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
print $out[0][0].", ".$out[0][1]."\n";
print $out[1][0].", ".$out[1][1]."\n";
?>
