Re^2: regular expression and nested tags

Just thought that starting at <div> after B would result in a better nongreedy result.

Is there a way to match a string contained between two delimiters which does not contain a given word? (not a class)

No, it only affects /`.`/. It doesn't affect any other part of the match, namely, the earlier /`<div>`/.

(not a class)* The following would do here: `m{<div>(?:(?!</div>).)*</div>}` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That doesn't work. I must be doing something wrong: `#!perl $a = 'A<div>B<div>C<div>D</div>E</div>F</div>G'; $a =~ m%<div>((?:(?!</div>).)*)</div>%; print "=$1=\n";` [download] I want to get just `=D=`. Also tried variations of this advanced patterns like look-behind without success.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

So exclude `<div>` too!	[reply] [d/l]
