Sweet nice job! Works great. I only needed to replace the tags one at a time though (just [b] not [b][/b]) the way I have my array set up for the available tags
Bbtag[1] = "[b]|<b>"; Bbtag[2] = "[/b]|</b>"; Bbtag[3] = "[i]|<i>"; Bbtag[4] = "[/i]|</i>"; Etc... Etc... Slight change and it works great. str = rereplace(str, "(\[b\])(?!((?!\[code\]).)*?\[/code\])", "<b>", "ALL"); I'll probably change my array and use your original as long as it doesn�t give me a fit on tags without closing tags smileys, [hr] etc... Thanks again.
