Thanks for the replies havent tested them out yet but will they work if the title tag actualy has spaces inside as well? < title > </title >
Also could anyone see where I went wrong in my original regular expression: <[ ]*title[ ]*>[ ]*[[:alpha:]]*[[:punct:]]*[ ]*</title> as I'm trying get to grips with reg expressions.I assumed that * means 0 or more occurences so the above should match <title>untitled</title> even if there are no spaces or punctuation.
