    Hi all,

    Can somebody here help me out with this please?

    I have a string $temp = "word1 word2 word3 word4 word5 word6 word7....etc"
    i need only "word2 word3 word4" to be in a variable, the count maybe more...basically
    i need to set a start and end marker and get the string in between.


    any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    kris
