Thanks, thats what I already had, but those only seem to get the first occurance... then adds the rest of the page after it. Almost like the second part of the regex isn't telling it when to stop...

Here is the pattern i'm trying to match, have I got the regex wrong?

some random text<B><P ALIGN=CENTER>My Text I want to grab 1</B></FONT>
+<p>some of stuff<B><P ALIGN=CENTER>My Text I want to grab 2</B></FONT
+> some other random text<B><P ALIGN=CENTER>My Text I want to grab 3</
+B></FONT>

Any ideas?

Thanks again
