Replace Between X and Y

[ScottCybak]

I've read str_replace, ereg_replace and preg_replace, but still can't formulate what the heck i need to do..

I'm trying to extract the string between <x> and <y> from a string. So, say the string is

&quot;<x>This will be visible</y> This won't <x>This will be as well</x>&quot;

i want it to return:

<x>This will be visible<y><x>This will be as well</x>

ultimately, it will convert the x and y to a <p> </p> tag, but that is the least of my worries.

I was just about to code a big character scan loop but thought perhaps i just don't understand the function that i need to use.

TIA! Scott Cybak

you have to use regular expressions.

you have to be something like this:

the pattern you need is something like this:
&quot;<x>([a-zA-Z ]+)<[y|/x]>&quot;
