Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to use regular expressions to grab
all content between two words. For example....

------
This is some example text to illustrate my problem and here's another
my for you.
------

I want to grab all text between the words 'some' and 'my' with the
correct result being ' example text to illustrate '

The following doesn't work with either ereg or preg_match...

some([^(my)]+)my

Anyone got any ideas? Is this even possible with regular expressions?

Thanks in advance,
