Re: [PHP] web page grab
The eregi_replace syntax would be: $string = eregi_replace(.*Wish(.+)numbers, \\1, $page); It should be noted that I prefer preg_replace, but that's neither here nor there. That _should_ work. It looks fine to me, but test it out to make sure. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

Re: [PHP] web page grab
In other words ...
$grab = eregi("wish(.*)numbers .");
the (.*) is what you're grabbing.
You don't need to include the entire file up to 'wish' and beyond
'numbers', just enough to make a unique portion.

I'm trying to grab content from another web page. After having browsed

Re: [PHP] web page grab
I thinks you should use eregi_replace (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php) and then strip_tags (http://www.php.net/manual/function.strip-tags.php) to strip HTML tag from string . so, you will get a plain text of the grab page. -- -Tuna- "Ed Lazor" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
