preg_replace("/<body>([\s\S]*.*)<\/body>/",$replace,$origional);

this will replace whole content between body tags.

Using Perl, the only special character here is the pipe '|'. So, the following regex will match (and return due to the capturing brackets (.+) ) the text you are looking for:

{<!-- \|IFNOT:ARCHIVE_PAGE\| -->\s*(.+)\s*<!-- \|END:IF\| -->}s

Note that the 's' modifier let's the regex match multiple lines, and the \s* before and after the capturing brackets means that whitespace (including line breaks) will not be included in the returned match.

try this regex:

(?<=<!-- \|IFNOT:ARCHIVE_PAGE\| -->)(\s|.)*?(?=<!-- \|END:IF\| -->)

This is not very recommendable but

<!-- \|IFNOT:ARCHIVE_PAGE\| -->((\s|.)*?)<!-- \|END:IF\| -->
