Selecting between 2 delimiters

[Shanti]

Hello, lets say I got this HTML File:

<!-- Start Code -->
some html here
with
lots
of diferent chars < , > \ / etc etc
<!-- End Code -->

some other stuff here more html

<!-- Start Code -->
some html here
with
lots
of diferent chars < , > \ / etc etc
<!-- End Code -->

how do i make it so that I can match anything between <!-- Start Code --> and <!-- End Code --> in the whole html file? this example should give me 2 matches

its driving me nuts been trying for a couple days with no succes, this is what i have
[code]<!-- Start Code -->[\+;\|\=\:\-\!\.\<\,\>\\\'\"\/\w\s]+<!-- End Code -->[/code]
but this will make 1 match including everything out of those delimiters  :-\

any ideas?

Thanks

In this case I guess you have to use the ungreedy local modifier "?" to force the pattern to stop after the first occurrence of whatever your delimiter is. Something like:
[code]
/<!-- Start Code -->(.*?)<!-- End Code -->/s
[/code]

Use preg_match_all if you want returned each match and not only the first one.
