I have a strong feeling that POSIX regexs cannot do multiline, try using perl-compatible, or make a loop to read the textarea content line by line

I need to process the contents of <textarea name="textarea">

<textarea name="textarea">SU: something ... blah blah�
TI: Title ... asasa asasas asas�
AU: author field ... asasasas�

I want to filter $textarea. I need to change my code below to grab everything between "TI:" and "�", but not including "�" :

I have this code.

--------snip------------

filter_strings("TI: ", $textarea)

function filter_strings($tofilter,$line){
   if(eregi('^'.$tofilter.' (.*)$',$line,$m)) {
       $filtered=$m[1];
       return $filtered;
    }
}
