Hi, I am trying to parse HTML data using regex, below is the HTML code 
 <td class="body3" valign="top"><p style="margin-top:1ex; margin-botto
+m:1ex;">The purpose of this study is to compare two types of care - s
+tandard <span class="hit_org">oncology</span> care and standard <span
+ class="hit_org">oncology</span> care with early palliative care (sta
+rted soon after diagnosis) to see which is better for improving the e
+xperience of patients and families with advanced lung and non-colorec
+tal GI cancer.  The study will use questionnaires to measure patients
+' and caregivers' quality of life, mood, coping and understanding of 
+their illness.</p></td>

I tried to extract the text using below code. ($bs) = $pre_bs =~ m/\>(.*)\</; Information of only 1st tag will be removed, not all. So I tried with this as well,  $bt =~ s/<.*>//gi; but its not working, everything is removed in this case. I want to remove all tags in a line no matter how many are they, tried multiple combinations but nothing is working. Thanks
