Can you paste in some sample input? (in CODE tags) and which command gives you which output please?

It might be that it looks like a space to a human but it is something else however the [^ ] might actually be saying "not space" as the next character after the <span> literal text you have so your serach would ignore it.

I might have missed the point, but I'm sure someone here can help.



Kind regards,
Robin
