I used this and it worked in all but one case (mentioned below). ReReplaceNoCase(text, '\[quote who="([^"]*)"\](.*?)\[/quote\]', '\2', 'all') \[quote who=" - escape the square bracket and match that text ([^"]*) - capture 0 or more characters that are not double quotes "\] - match the double quote and escaped end square bracket (.*?) - capture any character -- this is the important part, the ? will say to only capture as few as needed before the next text \[/quote\] - match a bracked quote where the brackets are escaped.
Now this will give a result of: Quote 1 Quote 2 [quote who="Tony4"]Quote 4[/quote] Good, but not perfect. Another application of the tag or something else will be needed. I'd have to see the desired output to be exact in this case. > Hi guys, been a long time since I posted here. > > I'm trying to write some bbml-style code..
