Topic: "Everything in Between"

[markvaughn2006]

Hello, i know this is probably pretty simple but still very new to regex stuff... how would i go about retreiving - 0.008025
from this

<span class="sg">
<span id="ref_73025_l">0.008025</span>

so actually i would need to get everything in between '<span class="sg"><span id="ref_*">' and '</span>'
the 73025_1 would be changing (sometimes 4,5,or 6 characters long)so I would need to wildcard that part somehow...

and capturing the result in a variable? thanks!!!!!!!!

preg_match('~<span id="ref_.*">(.*)</span>~isU', $string, $matches);

Should get you want you want. Result will be in $matches[1].
