Getting text within tags

[Andycal]

Just trying to find uses for Runrev (I'm a hobbyist at best!) and I thought it might be useful to be able to grab the text between two tags like :

<p>Hello, this is the text</p>

This would be useful for grabbing information from websites. Anyone got any examples or pointers?

Right, very quickly done some research and I found the following regex that does what I'm after apparently:

Code: Select all

<TAG\b[^>]*>(.*?)</TAG>

I tried this in the 'matchtext' function, but it just spat out 'false'.
