    All my posts have a gallery short code on the first line. I want to print a post showing the text but use something like a preg replace to remove [gallery] from the result. Can this be done?

    query_posts('cat=10&name=Elvis&posts_per_page=1');	

if (have_posts()) :
	while (have_posts()) : the_post();
		echo '<div class="title">' ; the_title(); echo '<br/>';
the_post_thumbnail(apply_filters('excerpt_thumbnail_size', 'thumbnail'));
the_content();

	endwhile;
endif;

    Thanks. I have tried your suggestion and it removed the gallery but leaves this [gallery ids="6997,6998"]

    Since everything I needed to remove was between two brackets I tried this and it worked.
    echo preg_replace ('/\[.*\]/', '', $content);
