Regular Expression between strings (multiple results?)

I am using a regular expression to filter a link from a HTML page like so:

(?<=data-ng-non-bindable data-src=\")(.*?)(?=\" data-caption)

How do I change it so that I get multiple results, not only the first one?

With sed, you replace strings, not extract. There are options you may set to actually output replaced substrings only, there is always a big problem with matches on the the same line.

Due to this, the easiest will be using grep with -oP options:

grep -oP '(?<=data-ng-non-bindable data-src=").*?(?=" data-caption)' file > outfile

Double quotation marks are not special.
