What did you try, and where did you get stuck? How does [`String.prototype.split()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/split) fail? — David Thomas, Jun 19 '16 at 18:22

This regex should do the trick:

<[^>]*>([^<]+)<

Find all matches, and extract capturing group 1 from each.

How about that:

result = result.replace("<", "");
result = result.replace(">","";
resultStrings = result.split("!");

It's really simple.

I don't know other conditions so it may not be useful. Please add conditions so I can respond to it.
