Select (and remove) between tags without tags with Regular Expressions

Question

i have the following example:

[ame="http://www.google.com"]Google - a search engine[/ame]

i have tried [ame=.*](.*?)[/ame] and it selects the tags and the text.

i need to select everything between the [ame][/ame] tags in order to delete it. I use Sublime Text that uses Regular Expressions but i cannot select only the text between tags and not the text with tags.

Answer 1

You can use the following to match:

(\[ame=[^\]]*\])(.*?)(\[\/ame\])

And replace with $1$3
