A few ways. Here are some examples. Note - these assume "good" HTML
Given:
<cfsavecontent variable="str">
<h2>TItle</h2>
<p>
THis is para one
</p>
<p>
This is part two
</p>
</cfsavecontent>
First example:
<cfset p = reFind("<p>(.*?)</p>", str,1,true)>
<cfdump var="#p#">
You would want to get the string from p.pos[2] to len p.len[2].
You can also do
<cfset p = reMatch("<p>.*?</p>", str)>
which gives you all of em - but you just want position 1 (minus the <p> tags).
And I'm sure folks will chime in with even more ways. :)
