Do you guys have any idea as to why the following REGEX does not pickup the above code?

 

~<div id="playerskills" align="center">((.|\n)+?)</div>~m

 

It works fine when the content between the divs is on one single line; however, with the HTML I provided, it tends to break due to the multiple lines. Any ideas? Thanks.

 

Using http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ to test.

The newlines in the source might be \r\ns.

~<div id="playerskills" align="center">(.+?)</div>~s

(/s is the one where dot-all matches newlines, /m is the one where ^ and $ can match the beginning and end of lines)

 

But like I said in your other thread, DOMDocument is much better for this than a regex.

Thank you. I was personally avoiding DOMDocument until I could spend some time to familiarize myself with it; however, I'll be sure to check it out once I finish my current project.

 

I appreciate the help.
