I think I've nearly got this figured out but I cant for life of me figure out why its removing the first part of "little rock"

Heres the string I'm working with:

"<Telerik.Sitefinity.GeoLocations.Model.Address>\n <City>Little Rock</City>

Here's my RegEX:

/(?<=>[^\\n]). ?(?=\<)/gm

And here's my results so far:

ittle Rock

I'm trying to capture the text between the angled brackets but also ignore any \n values. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

You can use

(?<=>(?!\\n))[^<>]*(?=<)

See the regex demo. Details:

• (?<=>(?!\\n)) - a positive lookbehind that requires (immediately to the left of the current location) a > char not immediately followed with \n two-char sequence to appear immediately to the left of the current location
• [^<>]* - zero or more chars other than < and >
• (?=<) - a positive lookahead that requires < char at the right of the current location.

Variations

(?<=>(?!\\n)).*?(?=<)
(?<=>(?!\\n))[^<>]*
