[SOLVED] ereg_replace help

[lordshoa]

I have a scraper I am trying to get code form another site and just get the text from the code.

But I seem to have run in to a problem I cannot figure out.

 

The code has random name and a unix time stamp which changes in a div tag and in a li tag so when I ereg_replace I use (.*) but it seems to take to much and not stop or nothing at all.

 

Is there a better way of making the variable code replace able ?

random_name

unix_time_stamp

 

thanks

 

little sample

<li class="class1 status u_RANDOM_NAME" id="status_UNIX_TIME_STAMP">

$htlm[1] = ereg_replace('<li class="class1 status u-.*." id="status_.*." >','',$html[1]);

Everything but a quote? (There is a regex forum just above this one btw)

Thank you worked perfectly.
