Short and clear. I'm not good at regex because I never understood it. But when you look at this simple template, would you say it's possible to replace the %% + the content of it with php brackets + add function brackets to it like this:
Template:
<html>
<head>
<title>%getTitle%</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class='mainStream'>
%getLatestPostsByDate%
</div>
</body>
</html>
It should replace it to this:
<html>
<head>
<title><?php getTitle();?></title>
</head>
<body>
<div class='mainStream'>
<?php getLatestPostsByDate();?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Is this possible? If yes, how? If anyone got a good tutorial for regEx which explains it even for not so smart guys, I'd be very thankful.
Thanks in advance.

This could be a good start. Get all between your custom tags (%%), and replace it with php code.

regex: /%(\w*?)%/g. Check explanation of regex at the right hand side (top), and generated code... it should help.
$template=file_get_contents('template.php');
$re = "/%(\\w*?)%/";
$subst = "<?php $1(); ?>";
$result = preg_replace($re, $subst, $template);
file_put_contents('template.php',$result);
