Tip: use '[^>]' or '[^<]' instead of '.' in cases where is not unique, because regex tends to match the widest match, not the shortest match.

there's no need of that, '*?' is a non-greedy quantifier, see the docs

suppose you want to extract what is contained between some opening and closing tags:

Code:

[demond@whitepine demond]$ tclsh8.4% set str "some text"some text% regexp {(.*?)} $str -> str1% set strsome text%

I'd suggest to run a regexp on the complete html without string range and regsub changes.
if you are too unfamilar with regexpand dont want to link to the complete page I'd recommned you to try out this one:

i've parse the html to $html

Code:

    regsub -all "\n" $html "" html    set nopage [string first "" $html 0]    set news [string range $html $nopage [expr [string first "" $html $nopage] - 1]]

the output $html:

Code:

 Tuesday              , 27/09/2005 09:11              EST
Today news is bla bla bla bla.

Bla bla bla bla bla news today.
