Ciao Mark
I'm late on this. I got really interested in this kind of extraction, which
I think there is demand for.
Two issues I can't figure out ...
1 - does "<$vars realchars="[^\s]+">" need to be that? Rather than its
inverse "<$vars realchars="\S+">"? (Where you would not need the variable
as no need for
"[...]"??)
2 - WHEN you have text BETWEEN tags, is there a way to dump it?
Only if you have time and interest!
Best wishes
TT
