Hi Roan,

first I want to say you thank one more time for yours helpful  
suggestions.

Now I can fetch the main description of the topic i am looking for  
using:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&rvsection=0&format=json&pageids=wiki_id

I received a correct json object, but the content of the revision is  
full of data I do not need like {{....}} [[...]] ecc. I would like to  
get only the clean description, only text (like the one visible from  
the wiki website).
I'm trying to find a regex pattern but without good results...

How can I do that? there is some parser to clean my json object?

hope someone could help me out|!


kind regards
Marco
