    1. Don't use regex to parse HTML. It's unreliable. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags. 2. Your regex matches for me, but I can't tell what a "correct result" is unless you tell us. [1]: – Max Shawabkeh May 06 '10 at 06:48

  • What tool/language are you using ? Are lazy quantifiers available there ? Does it require escaping quotes ? – Jasmeet May 06 '10 at 07:07
  • That regex works for me. What do you mean when you say it gives you "initialization"? – Alan Moore May 06 '10 at 09:32
