Question

How can I get text between “tags” [b][/b] from this text?

I neet to get

• bold text [b]abcd[/b]
• abcd (I will get this using recursion)
• another bold text

Please help with regular expression!

Thank you!

Regex is the wrong tool for this task. If you can control the input format, why not use proper XML:

Here is some
<b>
bold text <b>abcd</b>
</b>

and here is <b>another bold text</b>

and then use an XML parser?
