RegEx in JavaScript: Content Between Two Tags

Question

I need to extract the content between two XML tags, excluding the tags.

PS: I won't be using this just to parse XML. I'll be using the RegEx in JavaScript, so the lookbehind won't work.

What am I doing wrong?

XML:

<location maps="">
    RewriteMap map txt:map.txt
    RewriteMap lower int:tolower
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/.]+)\.html$ [NC]
    RewriteCond ${map:${lower:%1}|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
    RewriteRule .? /index.php?q=${map:${lower:%1}} [NC,L]
</location>

RegEx:

/(?:(?=(\<(?!\/)(.*?)\>)))([\s\S]*?)(?=(\<(?=\/)(.*?)\>))/igm

---

Results:

<location maps="">
    RewriteMap map txt:map.txt
    RewriteMap lower int:tolower
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/.]+)\.html$ [NC]
    RewriteCond ${map:${lower:%1}|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
    RewriteRule .? /index.php?q=${map:${lower:%1}} [NC,L]

What I Want

RewriteMap map txt:map.txt
RewriteMap lower int:tolower
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/.]+)\.html$ [NC]
RewriteCond ${map:${lower:%1}|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
RewriteRule .? /index.php?q=${map:${lower:%1}} [NC,L]

Answer 1

您还可以使用以下正则表达式：（如果标记名称为常数）

<location[^>]*>([^<]+)</location>

Answer 2

How about

<(\w+)[^>]+>\n*([\s\S]*)<\/\1>

It'll grab your tag, capture everything up to tag repeated prefixed with / .

Result in capture group 2.
