Hello,
I am trying to parse some information contained between the two strings "<sample>" and "</sample>" . I am new to regular expressions and would like to know what expression suits my requirement. The strings i mentioned have some operators in them. This is making the job difficult.
Regards, Math

If you need more help than Thorsten's answer (which pretty much tells you everything that there is to it), then show us your current regular expression.

"str = '<sample>a,b,c</sample>' "
I want to extract a,b,c from the str above into another string (say extract = a,b,c).
I wrote the following pattern:
"pat = '(<sample>)||(<\/sample>)' "
However, extract = regexp(str,pat,'match') yields " '<sample></sample>' " and not a,b,c.
help regexp says
| Match subexpression before or after the |
How do i get a,b,c to the string variable extract ? Please help.

str = '<sample>a,b,c</sample>';
out = regexp(str,'((?<=<sample>).*(?=<\/sample>))','match')
or
t = regexp(str,'<(|\/)sample>','splite')
out = t(~cellfun(@isempty,t))

help regexp
There it says
Characters that are not special metacharacters are all treated literally in
a match. To match a character that is a special metacharacter, escape that
character with a '\'.

Alternatively, you may also consider using regexprep instead of regexp.
>> extract = regexprep(str,pat,'')
extract =
a,b,c
