in thread Regular expression

I presumed he meant the < and > characters when he mentioned "square brackets" - otherwise the example doesn't make much sense.

And considering the string starts with < and ends with >, the "between brackets" condition was ambigious. I just pointed out which meaning I was going to assume. It seems that is the same meaning as you assigned to it.

my $words = '';
if ($line =~ m/<.*>(.*)<\/.*>/) {
  $words = $1;
}
print  $words;
