Hi all...

All right guys I actually do want to take it a bit further if you don't
mind... at the moment I only have one set of tags per page... but I was
starting to think I could use this all over the place and it would be
very handy...

How would you go about ensuring that it only stripped out between the
opening and closing tag (if there were multiple) and not the others as
and not get the mucked up answer as listed below by Ben

Cheers

PS Subscription to CF_RegExp has left my inbox. And yes, they did seem
like weird questions but I understand why now :-)

Just be aware that if you have a page like

Between <ud_stripout>the waves</ud_stripout> and the shore <ud_stripout>
there's a boat</ud_stripout> here.

You'll get
Between  here.
not
Between  and the shore  here.

Because that regex will strip /everything/ between the /first/ open and
the /last/ close.  Which is why some of us are asking wierd questions
about it.
