RegEx expression that will capture everything between two characters including multiline blocks

Question

I want to capture all text & blocks of text between <% and %>.

For example:

&l         


        

Answer 1

\<\%(.*?)\%\>. You need to use .*? to get non-greedy pattern matching.

EDIT To solve the multiline problem, you can't use the . wildcard, as it matches everything except newline. This option differs depending on your regular expressions engine. So, I can tell you what to do if you tell me your regex engine.
