I want to write a regex which extract the content that is between two tags </code> in a string but not the tags.
IE I have the following</p>
<pre><code>
<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:block"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-5408099190056760"
data-ad-slot="7305827575"
data-ad-format="auto"
data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script> </div>
<div class="relativetags">
相关标签:

</div>

<p>the best way is to use Assertions, for your case, the regex would be:</p>
<pre><code>(?<=\<title\>).*?(?=\<\/title\>)
</code></pre>

<p>In your case, you could just use the second backreference from the regex, which would hold the text you are interested in.</p>
<p>Since you mention <code>preg_match</code> in your tags, I am assuming you want this for PHP.</p>
<pre><code>$matches = array();
$pattern = '#<title>(.*?)</title>#'; // note I changed the pattern a bit
preg_match($pattern, $string, $matches);
$title = $matches[1];
</code></pre>
<p>Note that this is actually the first back reference in my patterns, since I've omitted the parentheses around the tags themselves, which were not needed.</p>
<p>Typically, you should not use Regex to parse HTML documents, but I think this might be one of those exception cases, where it is not so bad, since the title tag should only exist once on the page.</p>
