ya mean yer info is already converted to html, and u need it to go back to bbcode?

that's pretty complicated order, as different bbcodes output different information.

prolly the easiest way is to add html comments before and after each bbcode converstion.

 

example:

[url=http://www.google.com]google[/url]

 

usually wud output

<A HREF="http://www.google.com>google</A>

 

but if u added html comments u can make yer job easier if it looked like

<!--- bbcode: [url=http://www.google.com] --><A HREF="http://google.com"><!--- bbend -->google<!-- bbcode: [/url]></A><!--- bbend -->

 

Yes it may add a lot of clutter, but will make reconstructing the original bbcoded message a whole lot easier
