Answer 1

Perhaps help you :

(<[div]+\s[a-zA-Z]+\=\"[a-zA-Z]+\">)(.*)(<\/[div]+>)

Answer 2

I had to do this a few years ago, but with additional flexibility (capturing content of no matter what element):

<(?<element>\w+).*?>(?<content>.*)?</[\s]*\1>

Which works quite okay, but I have to agree with the comments above; if you can, use a fully fledged DOM parser! It'll handle edge cases etc...

Not if you really just want to get content of <div /> 's that would be:

<(div).*?>(?<content>.*)?</[\s]*\1>
