Sub-pattern Matching in Javascript

I am getting:

result[0] = "<eval>content1</eval>";
result[1] = "<eval>content2</eval>";

I was expecting

result[0] = "content1";
result[1] = "content2";

any suggestion?

Simplest solution is to use the exec method on the RegExp object. e.g.

var str = "<eval>content1</eval>\n<eval>content2</eval>";

var pattern = /<.+>(.*)<\/.+>/mg;

var match;

while ((match = pattern.exec(str)))

{
alert(match[1]);
}
