result = REreplace(string,
"$.*(<%---.*---%>).*^",
"\1");
That should do it, although it'll cause problems if there is more than one
<%--- ---%> block in thr string. If the string you're looking for never
contains a greater than sign, then you can use this RE instead, which will
then work for strings that have multiple target blocks in there:
$.*(<%---[^>]*---%>).*^
It'll still only pull out the first block, so you'll need some kind of
looping mechanism, but it'll return the first block correctly, rather than a
combined result.
