Hello,
I am trying to parse some information contained between the two strings "<sample>" and "</sample>" . I am new to regular expressions and would like to know what expression suits my requirement. The strings i mentioned have some operators in them. This is making the job difficult.
Regards, Math

If you need more help than Thorsten's answer (which pretty much tells you everything that there is to it), then show us your current regular expression.

str = '<sample>a,b,c</sample>';
out = regexp(str,'((?<=<sample>).*(?=<\/sample>))','match')
or
t = regexp(str,'<(|\/)sample>','splite')
out = t(~cellfun(@isempty,t))

Alternatively, you may also consider using regexprep instead of regexp.
>> extract = regexprep(str,pat,'')
extract =
a,b,c
