What I need to do is when a message is quoted to replace one bb code inside the quote with another bb code...

So let's say the message data contains:

[quote=BirOPrey;938322]This is a test [cust]http://www.google.com[/cust] more test. One more time  [cust]http://www.yahoo.com[/cust][/quote]

Hi. [cust]http://www.bing.com[/cust]
Bye.

I would want it to change to:

[quote=BirOPrey;938322]This is a test [xxx]http://www.google.com[/xxx] more test. One more time  [xxx]http://www.yahoo.com[/xxx][/quote]

Hi. [cust]http://www.bing.com[/cust]
Bye.

The hooks and variables I'm sure I can figure out... and I've been pretty good making regular expressions with regex buddy these days...

I'm thinking preg_replace will be the key to doing this... to match [cust] and [/cust] and replace with [xxx] and [/xxx] only within a quote- but I have read the pho manual on preg_replace and wondering if there isn't more to it?

I found some info in this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=77173
But that code doesn't seem to work in 3.7/3.8...

EDIT

That line from that thread looks exactly like I want to do.., in class_bbcode.php after line 1424 I want to do a preg_replace on $html and change all the [cust] tags to [xxx] but this is never matching:

$html = preg_replace('#\[test\]\s*(https?://([^<>*"]+|[a-z0-9/\\._\- !]+))\[/test\]#iue', "[url]$1[/url]", $html);

Trying to change [test] to [ url ] in that example...

Edit AGAIN
It appears the problem is in 3.8 $html and $message are already converted to HTML so there are no bb code's left in the code at this point anymore, they have already been parsed.

Well I ended up just using str_replace, twice... Once to remove all the HTML in front of the {param} and replace it, and another to remove and replace all the code after the {param}... I was looking and I just don't see anywhere were the unparsed QUOTE only is available...

Wow... I found a mod that does everything I need really easily... at least this was a learning experience...
