Clean regex to match inner text

Question

I'm parsing markup to match the inner text of tag elements using the following regex.

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

I'd like to optimise this to remove matches on white space. eg: >space \n etc <

eg:

<div>
     <div>TargetMatch</div>
</div>

Targeted Hits:

1. TargetMatch

Actual Matchs:

1. " "
2. TargetMatch

Any ideas?
