Consider

<_2017-05-15 type="Double">-1.920992100000000E+05</_2017-05-15>

How can I treat <...> as a delimiter when attempting to split this string (in order that I can pull out the number -1.920992100000000E+05?

I tried <.*> (and even \\<.*\\>) but that is a match for the whole string.

For what it's worth, I'm using Java.

did you mean a regex like this [`>(.*?)<\/`](https://regex101.com/r/F4QM3D/1) – Youcef LAIDANI Aug 04 '17 at 10:36
Absolutely! I found the answer from the duplicate. I used `<.*?>` Thank you very much @WiktorStibizew – Richard Fowler Aug 04 '17 at 10:37
