Answer 1

Try this:

<table[^>]*?>

explain:

*? Matches the previous element zero or more times, but as few times as possible.

[^character_group] Negation: Matches any single character that is not in character_group .

Answer 2

Try this:

<table[^>]*>

Use [^>] to match any character but > , making it select only that first tag. This will include newline characters, so this regex will work for:

<table align="center"
       cellpadding="4"
       cellspacing="3"
       border="1"
       bgcolor="#B1A0C7">
