Regex Non-Greedy (Lazy)

Question

I\'m attempting to non-greedily parse out TD tags. I\'m starting with something like this:

stuffMore stuff

        

Answer 1

The regex you want is ]*>:

<     # Match opening tag
TD    # Followed by TD
[^>]* # Followed by anything not a > (zero or more)
>     # Closing tag

Note: . matches anything (including whitespace) so [.\s]*? is redundant and wrong as [.] matches a literal . so use .*?.
