Step 2b
Filtering Out the Noise with Regex
Extracting attribute values
<\/strong>([^<]*)(?:<[^>]*>|$)
- match the character "<" literally
- match the character "/" literally
- match the characters "strong>" literally
- match the regular expression below and capture its match into backreference number 1
- match any character that is not a "<"
- between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy)
- match the regular expression below
- match either the regular expression below (attempting the next alternative only if this one fails)
- match the character "<" literally
- match any character that is not a ">"
- between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy)
- match the character ">" literally
- or match regular expression number 2 below (the entire group fails if this one fails to match)
- assert position at the end of the string (or before the line break at the end of the string, if any)
