Regex confusion

my-ruby · April 8, 2013, 11:44pm

I was trying to get some matches: as below

“191760250”, “This is a test”, “2013-04-07T17:19:06.953”, “131466368”,
“191760250”, “Does it wotk”, “2013-04-07T17:19:17.303”, “131466368”

accordingly made Rubular: (>([\w\s]|[\d\-\:.])+<)

but not working.

please help me.

It’s best to parse xml with an xml parser. The try Nokogiri:

I would try this modified expression:

(([\w\s]|[\d-:.])+?)<

What XML? This looks more like a case for CSV.

If you check the rubular link the OP posted, the sample string is an
XML.
