Hi,

Thats all the code you should need.

$post_message is just a text string, with the example I gave - and then it runs this:

$post_message =~ s%\Q[URL=\E([\?\%\:\/a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)\Q][img]\E([\?\%\:\/a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)\Q[/img][/URL]\E%gix;

(which is the line thats giving the error)

Maybe its something to do with the regex?

Cheers

Andy
