Im trying to match anything, including lines between two points and output everything except the points e.g.

## START ##
all
of
this
will
be
returned
## END ##

will display:

all
of
this
will
be
returned


I have tried everything, the closest I have got is this, but it does not match new lines:
preg_replace("/## START ##(.*)## END ##/s", "\\1", $string);

Please Help!

Why not:

// ## Start ##
all
of
this
will
be
returned
// ## End ##

But that is assuming that you actually trying to do PHP code, and not Perl. Did I understand your question correctly?

This should work:

Code:

<?
$data = <<<END
## START ##
all
of
this
will
be
returned
## END ##
END;

$txt = preg_replace("/## START ##(.*)## END ##/s", "\\1", $data);
print $txt;
?>
