Well, I tried that first, but it failed when some user whould list multiple
references. The ereg_replace would then take the two references as one.

Müller named "Müller}, {PMID8789442:Milasin" instead of two separate
links...Thanks again! Ivo "Dvdmandt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Also... You know, there's a (.*?) command as well..
