Finding text between tags and replacing it along with the tags

Question

I am using The following regex pattern to find text between [code] and [/code] tags:

(?<=[code]).*?(?=[/code])

Answer 1

You need to use back referencing, i.e. replace \[code\](.*?)\[/code\] with something like $1 which will give you what's been enclosed by the [code][/code] tags enclosed in -- for this example -- tags.
