dont't find right regex

trek · #1 (**permalink**) 05-27-2008

I have a string which contains following information:

Code:

<SZ.T><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" SIZE="+3">Bundesregierung nimmt sich dicke Deutsche vor</FONT></P></SZ.T>
<SZ.UT><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT SIZE="+1"><I> Seehofer und Schmidt planen Kampagne gegen &Uuml;bergewicht </I></FONT></P></SZ.UT>

now i want to find:
"Bundesregierung nimmt sich dicke Deutsche vor"
" Seehofer und Schmidt planen Kampagne gegen Übergewicht "

I tried "

Code:

foreach ($x =~ /<.*?>(.*)<.*?>/g) {print "%"x3 .$1."\n";}

" but then i get:
%%% Seehofer und Schmidt planen Kampagne gegen Übergewicht 
%%% Seehofer und Schmidt planen Kampagne gegen Übergewicht 

the regex should ignore ><, because there is no information between ><, and find every information with is between ><, f. e. >Bundesregierung<

can anyone help me? thx

Try:

Code:

sed -e "s/<[^<]*>//g" file

yeah, amazing, it works!

but do you also know the regex to match the information which i am looking for and not delete the information which is useless?

why does

Code:

/>([^<]*)</g

not work?

Very close, here reverse logic goes, use:

Code:

foreach ($x =~ /<.*?>[^<]([^<]*)<.*?>/g ) {print "%"x3 .$1."\n";}
