To Kens point:

abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno/pqr/stu/vwx= /

If you do this:

[middle startafter=3Ddef&endbefore=3D/]

You will get this:

/ghi/jkl/mno/pqr/stu/vwx


To my point, if I do
[text]myVar=3Dabc/def/ghi/jkl/mno/pqr/stu/vwx/[/text]
[middle startaft= er=3D[url]f/[/url]&endbefore=3D[url]/j[/url]][myVar][/middle]<br /&g= t;

you get: ghi

it seems that a "/= " on its own, and some other characters are not valid as start and end= points.

To Kens point:

abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno/pqr/stu/vwx= /

If you do this:

[middle startafter=3Ddef&endbefore=3D/]

You will get this:

/ghi/jkl/mno/pqr/stu/vwx


To my point, if I do
[text]myVar=3Dabc/def/ghi/jkl/mno/pqr/stu/vwx/[/text]
[middle startaft= er=3D[url]f/[/url]&endbefore=3D[url]/j[/url]][myVar][/middle]<br /&g= t;

you get: ghi

it seems that a "/= " on its own, and some other characters are not valid as start and end= points.


Regardless of MORE power to middle, working = in a way that I can use the current version in a logical way, so that a sta= rt and end point work correctly. Right now, I'm totally stuck for a cle= an method of pulling known tags out of html dynamically .... it could be SO= easy

so, the block I am trying to = remove: <meta property=3D"og:title" content=3D"Toro= nto Star copyeditor edits memo announcing the elimination of copyeditor job= s" />

by using : property=3D= "og:title" as my starting point

According to= the docs, I should then get: content=3D"Toronto St= ar copyeditor edits memo announcing the elimination of copyeditor jobs

If I url the start and end, I = get the same result - no stoppage.

Theoretica= lly, I should be able to stop middle on the first quot that it runs into, a= s opposed to " / and I'd take />, but this breaks middle:

this= I get the same result :

as

[middle startafter=3D[url]property=3D&= quot;og:image"[/url]&endbefore=3D[url]" /[/url]][theOutPut][/= middle]

and

none of these will stop anyt= hing past the endpoint from displaying....=C2=A0 any ideas?
