cosmicsea Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have 2 more problems i just ran into if someone could help me. on this one im trying to grab "Hp" but there is a huge gap as you can see so what would i do to fill that white space gap and grab "Hp". <div class="dk_first"> Hp<span> here is what im trying. "/dk\_first\"\>.*?(.*)\<\/span/" in this example, the word "example" can be any line of text and that bit of code there is what i have to work with so how would i grab that 7.6 MB? family2 c">info example (7.6 MB)</p> i know this is wrong but here is what i have been messing with "/family2 c\"\>info .?* \(([\d+\.]{0,12} [A-Za-z]{2})MB)<\/p\>/" can anyone help me with any of these please? thanks.

cosmicsea Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I think i just need to know how to do this when there is 2 lines involved or white space. Is there anything that i could do to define where white space or the next line etc would be?

cosmicsea Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 $content = str_replace("\n", '',$content); preg_match('/dk\_first\"\>(.*)\<\/span/',$content,$matches); I got this one to work like this but now i get the text i need but with all the html following. how can i end this regex after it grabs text?
