maxormark Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I know this is probably really easy, but it has me foxed. I need to know how to delete ... title="some random text string" ... from a longer string of code. There must be a way to isolate and remove a lump of text the format of which you cannot pre-determine. Basically, I'm trying to create a script which takes a web page and strips out a part of it to turn into an RSS feed. I've got it licked, except for the title tags. Alternatively, if anyone already has such a script, I'd be interested to know.

Axeia Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 What exactly are you trying, extract a title attribute in full words up till a limit of a certain number of characters but they always need to remain full words?
