dpacmittal Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I want to extract text till a fullstop or a question mark but they should not be inside a tag. I did this: preg_match("!(<.*?>)?.*?(\.|\?)!s",$string,$matches); print_r($matches); It worked for some pages, and didn't work for others. Most of the times it extracts till a <a href=http://example. stopping at the dot in web address. Need some guidance on this.
