Before I start to write my own, does anybody know of the existence of a function to strip out all the text between BB code tags?

This is for a "latest posts" display, that prints the first dozen or so words of a post. For example running this through it:

[QQUOTE=miner2049er] Actually, Saturday night I was with friends at the El Compadre restaurant in Hollywood, on Sunset. I just had drinks, but they had the best salsa I have tasted for years - a good level of spiciness! Very nice place also.[/QQUOTE]Oh yea...El Compadre...chips and salsa....it's about the best thing

would return:

Oh yea...El Compadre...chips and salsa....it's about the best thing

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Miner2049er.

Hmm, no replies so far. Let me try and word it a different way - I want to grab the first dozen or so words from a post that a person typed in, and nothing inside quote or image tags etc.

Can anybody assist, before I fire up the PHP editor?

Have a good week, Miner2049er.

UPDATE: Problem mostly solved, code found. Check out:

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
