    regular expression help

    Hi all,

    I want to parse a string so that all the lines of text are wrapped in
    <li></li> tags.

    This I can do :

    (^)(.{2,}?)($)

    However after this I want to find a a line that begins with an unusual
    character and not wrap it.

    This is because you get a few lines of text, the bullets, followed ,
    occassionaly by a * which has more details.

    You know how your mind goes blank when doing regular expressions ? well I've
    got that ;)

    Thanks in advance,

    Chris.
