[Jprogramming] Locate & Select

[Chito Jovellanos]

I'm trying to find an expression that will return the text between two
adjacent html tags (with each occurrence boxed).  In the sample snippet
below, I want to retrieve the text between <span class="Header2">  and the
next instance of </span> which should yield a boxed list containing four
instances of  the text string 'core.contains'.

 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

 

<span class="Header2">core.contains</span><span class="Small">
(lang.replace, core.constant -&gt; core.if-else)</span></td></tr><tr><td
class="td-border" align="left" valign="top"
