changing stings in buffer

[techbrain]

lets say i have a
defile ("#something#", "translated something");

#something# will automatically be changed in any php code that follows ...
but what if i placed #something# in a tpl file ?

any ideas ??

i know i have to read throught the buffer to do it but so far i haven't been succesfull ... any help is appreciated thanks.

and no it's not just one thing so str_replace is pointless ....

Well, if you're putting it in a tpl file, why not write your own Template parsing class?
Build your own Template Parser Class

And if you're in a TPL file that is include()-ed, then you can just wrap php tags around it and PHP will replace #something# with #somethingelse#.
