numero = 69470
interpreted = N
texte = I have a page where short summaries of posted articles are shown. Currently some folks embed youtube videos as the first item in their posts. They were doing this with images, but that I was able to deal with. images: I use the following grep within my code to strip out any instance of having an image appear in this summary..... [getchars start=1&end=150][grep search=]*)&replace=][blogtext][/grep][/getchars] embed a video: If they did embed a youtube video (via tinymce editor) this would be an example of the code I'm trying to strip out of these summary pages: Since I'm pulling just the first 150 characters for the summary I'm having grief even if I try this: [getchars start=1&end=150][grep search=]*)>&replace=][blogtext][/grep][/getchars] The above code does enough to NOT show the video in the summary pages, buts it leaves remnants of the entire embed string. Any other ways I could maybe strip out all image or embed code as I pull the text for these summary pages? thanks Lester __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
