Maybe it's just too late for me to do this, but I'm trying to replace a character between 2 string with regex in PHP. Example string: other | text [tag]text|more text|and more[/tag] end | text My goal is to replace | with <br/> between [tag] and [/tag]. Tried with this, seems it wasn't that easy though: /<td>(\|)<td>/gsi Searched a bit, but couldn't make out an answer with the stuff I found. Hope you can help, thanks
