Hi,

I'm trying to extract the body of a view file using regular expression but it doesn't work.

Code:
$body = $this->load->view( 'newsFeed', '', true );

$regex = "@\&lt;body\&gt;(.*?)\&lt;/body\&gt;@i";

$matches = array();

preg_match ( $regex, $body, $matches );

print_r( $matches );

The view file is basically simple:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;Hello&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

    Hello World!

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Try this:

Code:
$regex = "@\&lt;body\&gt;(.*?)\&lt;/body\&gt;@is";

If I'm not wrong, you have to use "s" flag so . includes the new line character
