``` I'm trying to use regex to match the text between `<>` and `[INST]` tags. I've tried several regex patterns but I can't seem to get it right. I'm using Python 3.7. Here's what I've tried so far: ``` import re text = """ <> A good sized detached 3 bedroom bungalow with ample off road parking, garage and lovely enclosed rear garden. Situated in a popular residential location within Carbis Bay and being sold with no chain, viewing is recommended<> """ # Attempt 1 match_1 = re.search(r'<>(.*?)<>', text) print(match_1.group(1)) # Attempt 2 match_2 = re.search(r'<>.*?<>', text) print(match_2.group(0)) # Attempt 3 match_3 = re.search(r'<\>([^\<\<]+)', text) print(match_3.group(1)) # Attempt 4 match_4 = re.search(r'<>.*?\[\[INST\]\]', text) print(match_4.group(0)) ``` The expected output is: ``` A good sized detached 3 bedroom bungalow with ample off road parking, garage and lovely enclosed rear garden. Situated in a popular residential location within Carbis Bay and being sold with no chain, viewing is recommended ``` However, none of the attempts above are working as expected. The closest I got was with Attempt 4, but it's not capturing the group correctly, it's printing the entire string including `[INST]`. ## Answer (2) You're close with your attempt 4, but you need to use a non-greedy quantifier `.*?` to match as few characters as possible until the `[INST]` pattern. Also, you should use a capturing group to get the matched text. Here's the corrected regex pattern: ``` import re text = """
