regex extract code from ...?

Question

how to capture all codes inside the html .... in regex format? currently I tried several codes but it is not capturing all, I tried this

<body>([^*]*)<\/body>

but it didnt capture all codes because some javascript code is affecting the regex command.

do you know any link or sample to solve this issue?

TIA

This would likely capture anything between standard <body> tags

(?:<body>((?s).*)<\/body>)

@MuhammadSanaullah of course not, why would it? – l'L'l Jun 02 '21 at 09:14
I commented not for you, I commented for those who are new to regex, they will use this regex code and wonder why it's not working. – Muhammad Sanaullah Jun 06 '21 at 13:34
