Am trying to get tags that start
<a has what ever in between, doesn't include a string and has an end </a> |

my code is

preg_match_all("/<a.*(?<!name\.cfm)</a> |/", $html, $matching_data);

the ending parameter </a> | seems to grab loads of line breaks, the (?<!name\.cfm) just doesn't seem work as code grabbed my the reg expression contains name.cfm.


Any ideas?
