Exercise 1: Capture the Class Names
Write a regular expression to extract data from the given text.
We'll cover the following
Problem
You’re given an input text that contains some data (alphabetical characters only). This data appears between two different types of tags. It appears between either the class
tags or the object
tags as shown:
-
<class>
Something</class>
-
<object>
SomeOtherThing</object>
Your task is to use a regular expression to extract the data enclosed within the class
tags.
Example
Consider the input below:
<class>Hash</class> <object>true</object> <object>nil</object> <class>TrueClass</class>
The output should be:
[["Hash"],["TrueClass"]]
