I'm not good at all in regex and I'm looking for an expression to get everything between and including either:

<script*/> OR 
<script*</script> //asterisk refers to everything between

Basically, I want to copy sections from a single element for print but delete all tags and everything in between

A single statement that covers both scenarios would be preferable, but two solutions will work just fine

Any help will be greatly appreciated

    If you're looking to parse some sort of HTML or XML, a parser dedicated for that is probably a better way to go than regexes – Ryan J Jan 15 '15 at 21:50

    Also, if you're trying to prevent XSS, Basic Regex rarely covers enough to deter any but the most inexperienced attackers. There are a myriad of other attack vectors, including `onLoad` attributes, malformed tags, and more.

This should work for both cases:

<script.*((/>)|(</script>))

  • I've tested it, post your sample string which you are trying to parse – VladL Jan 16 '15 at 10:09
  • Depending on programming language you can set an option for interpreting . as new line symbol as well. In c# its "RegexOptions.SingleLine" – VladL Jan 17 '15 at 22:40
