Reg Parsing Inconsistent

[Qiu]

I usually use https://regex101.com/ to test my Reg expressions, and so far it works fine.

Today I run into an inconsistency between Alteryx and it.

Any ideas?

I think it is due to escaping the <  and >. They match if you don't:

<.+>(.+)<.+><.+>

I would normally be slightly careful on such parses:

<[^>]+><[^>]+>(.+)<\/[^>]+><\/[^>]+>

 but clearly depends on that data!

Hi @Qiu — Try this one:

(.*=./)(.*\">)([\w\s]+)(.*$)

@Qiu — Thank you!  🙂
