Subject: RE for any text, including white space
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:23:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D80B9BE.2070105@mousecar.com> (raw)

What's the RE for any text, white space included?  I also want to grab
(for match-string...) this text.  The text is bounded by known
characters.  E.g.,

<h3>Any Text-- <a name="thisname">
Hot Stuff</h3
>

In the above, how to grab the text of the title, i.e., everything
between <h3> and </h3>?  Conceivably this title text might contain
*anything* except "</[Hh]{1-9]".


tnx.
