I'm FAR from a regex wizard, but it's worth noting: [abc] means match any occurrence of a or b or c [^abc] means match any character that is NOT a or b or c ergo [^<] means match anything that is NOT an open bracket [^<]+ means match one or more things are are not open brackets so /<(h\d)>[^<]+Placeholder2.*?<\/\1>/ matches an open < followed by an h followed by a digit followed by a close >, then any number of characters as long as they are NOT < followed by "Placeholder2" ... etc Of course, this will break as soon as someone adds attributes to the <h1> tag, such as <h1 class="navbar">, which is why we all like Nokogiri. I'm sorry your ISP doesn't agree! :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
