regular expressions

[reubenb]

ok, so im new to this whole regular expression thing.

<[^>]*> removes all HTML tags

but say I DONT want to remove <br> or <br /> (xhtml) tags

i thought <(?!br)[^>]*> or <(?!br /)[^>]*> would work but it doesn't?

any ideas?

Don't know if this might hopefully help at all:
