Easy "preg" Question

[BulldogGC]

Hey guys/gals just had a quick question ...

Say I have a page with THREE instances of the same word.

And this code:

$contents = preg_replace('Link.*<\/html>/si', '', $contents);

That code WORKS but grabs the LAST instance of the word.
I'm trying to grab the FIRST instance.

So if you have:

Link #1
Link #2
Link #3

I want to stop at link #1 and delete everything from there on out to </html>

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

No one knows this?
Seems like it would be a simple question? 🙁

Some of us live in different timezones than yours.

Far as I can see that code works. It would find the first "link" and delete everything from there up to the last </html>.

$string = "This is something with link 1 in it; there are also link 2 and link
3, but I'm not interested in them </html> Am I interested in this?";
echo preg_replace('/Link.*<\/html>/is','',$string);

This is something with  Am I interested in this?
