Why doesn't this RegEx return a list?

[ComplexPoint]

@Tinker

this is my search:

(?<=">)(.{1,12})(?=<\/a><\/li>)

From the full source of the HTML you may be able to get your match list more simply from an XPATH expression like //a/text()

See, for example:

Process XML and extract to a tab-delimited file

For simple cases of fetching data like this, without much further processing, XQuery may be more than you need, and the XPath expression alone is probably enough: //ntig/termGrp/term/text() It just requires a slightly different calling function in the JXA: Tabbed pairs from TXE via XPATH.kmmacros (15 KB) [Keyboard Maestro Export]
