If you have to put OFF-TOPIC in the topic of a topical mailing list, should that be a warning that you’re sending to the wrong list?

Edison, I would recommend comp.lang.php

No, this is because is not related direct with RoR. But since most of RoR programmers came from PHP, they might give me some usefil help with this Regular Expression…

Regexp are regexp. It really should not matter how or from what language they are called, unless the implementation varies.

The implementation does vary. Every regexp parser implements a slightly different syntax, or so it seems.

If you are having problem with constructing a working regexp then you might find this site worth visiting:

Yes, *if* you're working with something sufficiently close to Ruby regexps.

Good luck.

Best,

Don't. Just don't. Parsing HTML with regexps is a bad idea - get a real parser, and use it correctly. If you *insist* on doing it with regexps, see this link:

That may help.
