 * Hello everyone,
 * I have a custom wordpress plugin in which im filtering out data given between
   custom short code tags.In my plugin im calling a function which i have added 
   to the add_filter(‘the_content’,’myfunction’) clause which searches the content
   for my shortcodes and extracts the contents given between them and processses
   them.
 * But the problem is whenever i give a wordpress defined shortcode like gallery
   etc. within my custom short codes specific to my plugin, then all the shortcodes
   are displayed on the page without no functionality carried out.
 * This creates a great havoc in my plugin functionality. could someone suggest 
   something to get this fixed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Smachohalla
