Hi tutors,

I am having problems returning everything I want from a regular expression.
I am merely getting the first string in the html text file, which stands to
reason as per the code.

Could someone give me the magic to put all the strings tagged < > thus.

Thanks for any tips you can provide. As for the document, 

I am reading amk's RE how-to; and I know it's all in there; it's just that
I've cudgeled my brains a lot today. ;-(

Best regards,
James
