Topic: How to take a word from a string?

[phpSensei]

Hello,

wow its been a looooooooooong time since I've been here. Back in the day i use to help out all the noobs lol, but now its time to be helped.

Simple and stupid question

Lets say I have a random sentence everytime a refresh a page, but every sentence will have the word "apple" in there...

ALSO the words apple are in [ b ] bbcodes on purpose.

Code: [Select]

I like eating [b]apples[b] all day long. Because [b]apples[/b] are good.
now i want to know how to delete everything outside the [ b ] [ /b ] tags...

I DONT WANT TO USE EXPLODE! I want to specifically delete everything but preserve any word within the bold tags.

[thorpe]

You'll want to ask your question in the regex board.
