Question

I’m struggling to come up with a RegEx will confirm that some text exists between two tags. Specifically, I want to ensure that that the text "TOTAL" and "$19.00" can be found within the same table row.

I’m not planing to nest tables, so I’m not worried about a nested match, but I do want to make sure that my text is within the SAME tr

My HTML:

<tr style='text-align:right;'>
  <td>shipping:</td>
  <td style='padding-left:3em;'>$17.00</td>
</tr>
<tr style='text-align:right;'>
  <td>TOTAL:</td>
  <td style='padding-left:3em;'>$19.00</td>
</tr>

Regular Expression I tried:

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

It’s close, the second capture group has my content. What do I need to change so only the second capture group is matched?
