For instance, I have a similar block of text like so:

@text = "Lorem ipsum <code>[some code here]</code> dolor sit"      What sytax would I use to check if the text is in between the <code> tags?

That is: "If @text is in between '<code>' and '</code>' tags, then do..."

Any ideas?   

This regex pattern seems to work

/<code>(.*?)\<\/code>/

extracting the string now is a bit more difficult -- jarod

If this can / is being done in rjs or javascript, then Prototype has methods that can do this. Jarod Reid wrote:
