RegExp

[Otavio]

Hello!

A have a tag <data></data>, but the contente is in multilines. As this:

<data>
Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla
</data>

If I use $regexp = "/<data>([^>]*)<\/data>/" the RegExp does not work.

Do u know what can i do?

Thanks!!!!!!

What did you try exactly, and why? What happens? and what were you
expecting? Are ">"s not allowed between tags? If so, I wonder why
they aren't allowed -- have you created, or are you creating your own
markup notation? Cool. Here's some food for thought

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/data/utd.html

Anyhow, the character class [^>] matches newlines, irrespective of
pattern modifiers. This, to borrow your example, returns true

preg_match(
'`<data>([^>]*)</data>`',
'<data>
Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla
</data>')

No, since I don't know what you're trying to do. Incomplete assumed
solutions aren't problem descriptions.

try:

$regexp = "/<data>(.*)<\/data>/Um";

U option is for Ungreedy else it'll take everything till the LAST </data>
tag

and m is for multilines.
