Regex will be: <[^>]*>([^<]*)

  1. <[^>]*> - math thiw first tag "<...>"
  2. ([^<]*) - capture text to open next tag "<...> some text <...>"

how apply him on Rubby - i dont know

A regular expression catching everthing between the first and the second pair of angle brackets lools like

/<.*?>(.*?)</m

The result will be in the first capturing group of the first match.

Note that this will probably fail on HTML comments and JavaScript.
