ios - Unable to extract individual script tags with NSRegularExpression regex -

i'm doing regex character except string on html file. i'm writing method remove script tags.

the problem looks first <script> tag , last </script> , returns 1 result. i've tried bunch of stuff can't make pick intermediary ones.

the regex'es worked out are: "<script[^>]*>((?!script).)*</script>" returns me nothing, believe closer need , "<script[^>]*>.*</script>" returns me single match.

here code. str variable string contains 3 matches. should able run code.

nsstring *str = @"<script type=\"text/javascript\">function setdisqusurl(){var _loc = window.location.href;disqus_url = _loc.split(\"?\")[0];}var disqus_url;setdisqusurl(); var disqus_shortname = 'rubydocbeta'; var disqus_shortname = 'ruby-doc';   (function() {      var dsq = document.createelement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;      dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';      (document.getelementsbytagname('head')[0] || document.getelementsbytagname('body')[0]).appendchild(dsq);   })();</script><script type=\"text/javascript\">function setdisqusurl(){var _loc = window.location.href;disqus_url = _loc.split(\"?\")[0];}var disqus_url;setdisqusurl(); var disqus_shortname = 'rubydocbeta'; var disqus_shortname = 'ruby-doc';   (function() {      var dsq = document.createelement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;      dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';      (document.getelementsbytagname('head')[0] || document.getelementsbytagname('body')[0]).appendchild(dsq);   })();   </script><script type=\"text/javascript\">function setdisqusurl(){var _loc = window.location.href;disqus_url = _loc.split(\"?\")[0];}var disqus_url;setdisqusurl(); var disqus_shortname = 'rubydocbeta'; var disqus_shortname = 'ruby-doc';   (function() {      var dsq = document.createelement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;      dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';      (document.getelementsbytagname('head')[0] || document.getelementsbytagname('body')[0]).appendchild(dsq);   })();   </script>";  nsregularexpression *regex = [[nsregularexpression alloc]                initwithpattern:@"<script[^>]*>((?!script).)*</script>"                              options:nsregularexpressioncaseinsensitive|nsregularexpressiondotmatcheslineseparators                          error:nil];  nsarray *results = [regex matchesinstring:str                                    options:nsmatchingwithtransparentbounds                                      range:nsmakerange(0, str.length)];  (int = 1; <= results.count; i++) {   nstextcheckingresult *result = [results objectatindex:(results.count - i)];   nslog(@"======================");   nslog(@"%@", [str substringwithrange:result.range]); }  nslog(@"results count: %i", (int)results.count); 

<script[^>]*>.*?</script>                 ^^ 

make search non greedy.
