<h1>bla bla [...] \t \r bla \n<h1>
------------- is: -----------------------
bla bla [...] \t \r bla \n


--------------- for: -------------------------
<h1><a name="_Toc104895953"></a><a name="_Toc94324108"></a><a
name="_Toc94268497"></a><a name="_Toc94265711"></a><a

style='mso-bookmark:_Toc94265711'><span
style='mso-bookmark:_Toc94268497'><span
style='mso-bookmark:_Toc94324108'><span
style='mso-bookmark:_Toc104895953'>2. L'ATTIVITA'
CONTRATTUALE DELLA P.A.</span></span></span></span></a></h1>
bla bla...

Use preg_match()
With the regular expression and the subject as arguments.
