I have a regular expression problem that is driving me crazy.

How do you capture the stuff between two closed html tags i.e

<b>One</b>


Capture all this 'stuff'
<em>dkskldsd</em>
<table>
<tr><td></td></tr></table>

<b>Two</b>


this suprisingly doesnt work, it captures the <b> tags but not the 'stuff'

(?:<b>(?<bold>.*?)</b>)
(.|\s)*?

TIA

Hi,

I did not get the question. Can you clarify?

"(?:<b>(?<bold>.*?)</b>)(.|\s)*?" does capture "<b>Two</b>" as "bold = Two"

What do you mean by "all that stuff"? Your regexpression is made to only
capture the b tags.

Hi,

By 'stuff' I mean anything that's between the ( closed ) bold tags.

This I was hoping to capture with (.|\s)*?

I'm attempting to capture the repeating pattern of bold tags followed by
other html.

Hope this clarifys it and thanks for your help.
