You're right in that it DOES work correctly using 4D code in a WHILE
loop.
I wanted to use prey_replace to do all the replacements in one shot.

I was using the Preg Replace function in Regex Plugin and this does NOT
work!

fr2_alltext:="Here is some example text <tColAttrWidth:example one>
and
another one <tColAttrWidth:example two> end of text."
fr2_alltext:=Preg Replace ("<tColAttrWidth:.+>"";"";fr2_alltext)

I also tried executing the preg_replace function in 4D:

fr2_alltext:="Here is some example text <tColAttrWidth:example one>
and
another one <tColAttrWidth:example two>eend of text"
$pattern:="<tColAttrWidth:.*?>""
$result:=""
$phpok:=PHP Execute("";"preg_replace";$result;$pattern;fr2_alltext)

But that doesn't work either ... $phpok=false and $result is "null"

what plugin?

I wouldn't use php for that.

You can find elaborate functions based on the 4D "Find regex" function
in 2 4D free components:

/color>HHi Pat,

I can't recommend enough great piece of software from Mac technologies
Consulting:

http://www.mactechnologies.com/index.php?page=downloads#regexrx

Yes, it is one "regex helper" app more, but his one knows about 4D.
While preparing my Markdown session for last Summit this tool helped
me a lot, the option to copy regex code into pasteboard and paste it
in 4D method is worth $5 they ask for it:

Milan
