C# regex extracting tags

Say I have a few string like

Hi my name is &开发者_开发百科lt;Name>
Hi <name>, shall we go for a <Drink>

Is it possible to get the tags captured through c# Regex? like <Name>, <drink> etc? I am not able to get it right..

Sure:

Regex.Matches(myString, "<([^>]+)>");

PowerShell Example:

PS> $s = @'
>> Hi my name is <Name>
>> Hi <name>, shall we go for a <Drink>
>> '@
>>
PS> [regex]::Matches($s,  '<([^>]+)>') | ft

Groups                Success Captures      Index      Length Value

{<Name>, Name}           True {<Name>}         14           6 <Name>
{<name>, name}           True {<name>}         25           6 <name>
{<Drink>, Drink}         True {<Drink>}        51           7 <Drink>

"</?[a-z][a-z0-9]*[^<>]*>"

To use it, try something like this:

try
{
    Regex regexObj = new Regex("</?[a-z][a-z0-9]*[^<>]*>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
    Match matchResults = regexObj.Match(subjectString);
    while (matchResults.Success)
    {
        // Do Stuff

        // matched text: matchResults.Value
        // match start: matchResults.Index
        // match length: matchResults.Length
        matchResults = matchResults.NextMatch();
    } 
}
catch (ArgumentException ex)
{
    // Syntax error in the regular expression
}

Why not do something even simpler like using C#s String.Replace? You pass in the string to be replaced and give it whatever value you want to replace it with.
