reg express question	Can't Post

say i have a string like the following:

$string = 'sxuy asdf 2143 asdf <id>jason</id>dfasdf asf safsa <id>john</id> asdlfj sf safd sdf <id>joe</id>';

question now is how do i get all the ids from that string and put them into an array?
all ids are between <id> and </id>

thanks for your help.

This should help you.
Of course inside the loop you will do something other than print Smile

Code

$string = 'sxuy asdf 2143 asdf <id>jason</id>dfasdf asf safsa <id>john</id> asdlfj sf safd sdf <id>joe</id>'; 
while ( $string =~ /<id>(.+?)<\/id>/ig ) { 
    print "$1\n"; 
}
