去正则表达式以匹配字符之间

Question

I have content I am trying to remove from a string

s:=`Hello! <something>My friend</something>this is some <b>content</b>.`

I want to be able to replace <b>content</b> and <something>My friend</something> so that the string is then

`Hello! this is some .`

So basically, I want to be able to remove anything between <.*>

But the problem is that the regex matches <something>My friend</something> this is some <b>content</b> because golang is matching the first < to the very last >

Answer 1

Go's regexp doesn't have backtracking so you can't use <(.*?)>.*?</\1> like you would do in perl.

However if you don't care if the closing tag matches you can use:

<.*?/.*?>

Just saw your update, .* is a greedy operator, it will match everything in between, you have to use non-greedy matching (aka .*?).
