| 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

if it's text, regular expressions can do it. ;^)

(?:\bsome\b)(.*?)(?:\bmy\b)

hth,

me
