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

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


regardless, it isn't working and it is returning the rest = of the page after the place where it is supposed to stop. It is not = stopping.
If I url the = start and end, I get the same result - no stoppage.

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

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

this I get the same result :
[middle = startafter=3D[url]property=3D"og:image"[/url]&endbefore=3D[url]/[/url]= ][theOutPut][/middle]
as

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

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


none of these will stop anything past the endpoint from = displaying....  any ideas?

For EndBefore, the docs say: String of text characters to = search for defining the end of the text to=20 be returned. All following text (and the EndBefore text itself) will be=20= ignored. --> this suggests that it should ignore everything after = this, including the stop token itself.

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

by = using : property=3D"og:title" as my starting = point
and ideally, I want = to use: " / as my end point.

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


regardless, it isn't working and it is returning the rest = of the page after the place where it is supposed to stop. It is not = stopping.
If I url the = start and end, I get the same result - no stoppage.



[text]theOutPut=3D[tcpconnect = host=3Dboingboing.net][!]
[/!][tcpsend = skipheader=3DT]GET /2009/11/07/toronto-star-copyedi.html HTTP/1.0[!]
[/!][unurl]%0D%0A[/Unurl]Host: boingboing.net[unurl]%0D%0A%0D%0A[/UnURL][unurl]%0D%0A[/Unu= rl][!]
[/!][/tcpsend][/tcpconnect][/text]

[text]myProp2=3D[middle = startafter=3D[url]property=3D"og:image"[/url]&endbefore=3D[url]" = /[/url]][theOutPut][/middle][/text] 
myProp2: = [myProp2]<br />


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

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

this I get the same result :
[middle = startafter=3D[url]property=3D"og:image"[/url]&endbefore=3D[url]/[/url]= ][theOutPut][/middle]
as

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

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


none of these will stop anything past the endpoint from = displaying....  any ideas?

endbefore works from = the end of the specified text, thus you
should expect this:
