good for you ;-)
why not take the easy route and simply strip out all HTML comments
(and whatever maybe inside them) from the string(s) before you do the
search for the 'bbcode'?


I am trying to pull keywords out of this crazy bbcode-like file, but only for bbcode-like code NOT enclosed in HTML comments. I currently have managed to create this regex:

'/(?<!<!--)\[!(\w+)::.*!\](?!-->)/U'

Which matches

[!keyword::crazy bbcode!]

and not

<!--[!keyword::crazy bbcode!]-->




That's a step in the right direction. But it includes in the match keywords within phrases like this:

<!-- A sentence including some [!keyword::crazy bbcode!]. -->

I want to ignore all bbcode within HTML quotes.  How do I do this?


thanks
