Thanks! Works like a charm! I am the very lowest of newbies when it comes to regex and working through your solutions has been very educational. I have one question about something I couldn't figure out:
#<h[1-9]>(.*)</h[1-9]>#Uie `<h([1-6])>.*?</h\1)>`sie What is the purpose of the back-ticks and the '#'? What are 'Uie' and 'sie'? Thanks again!

To remove the <br /> tags, you need to call preg_replace_callback() : <?php $str = '<h1>hi <br /> ..</h1> bla bla <h5> .... <br /> ..</h5> ...<br />'; function cbk_br($match) { return '<h' . $match[1] . '>' . str_replace('<br />', '', $match[2]) . '</h' . $match[1] .

Sample <h*> tags with content are below: >> >> <h4>Ex-Secretary Mickey Mouse <br />Loses Mass. >> Primary</h4> >> >> <h4>Ex-Secretary Mickey Mouse <br />Loses Mass. >> Primary <br /> Wins New Jersey</h4> >> >> <h4>Ex-Secretary Reich Loses Mass.
