REGEX TO CAPTURE EVERYTHING EXCEPT HTML TAGS(</> <P>)

[splunkerninja1]

I need to capture everything except the html tags like </a> <a> </p> </b>. These tags may appear anywhere in the raw data.

I was able to come up with regex that matches non capturing group (?:<\/?\w>) but I am stuck with not able to capture the rest everything in raw data.

Sample:

 Explorer is a web-browser developed by Microsoft which is included in Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.<P>
Microsoft has released Cumulative Security Updates for Internet Explorer which addresses various vulnerabilities found in Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8), Internet Explorer 9 (IE 9), Internet Explorer 10 (IE 10) and Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11). <P>

@ITWhisperer Thanks to you. I have an issue I need to use the same regex on two different fields butit throws an error when i run the below query 

| inputlookup remediation.csv 
| stats count by knowbe4, solution 
| rex field=knowbe4 mode=sed "s/<\/?\w+.*?\/?>//g" rex field=solution mode=sed "s/<\/?\w+.*?\/?>//g"

You need to use two commands

| inputlookup remediation.csv 
| stats count by knowbe4, solution 
| rex field=knowbe4 mode=sed "s/<\/?\w+.*?\/?>//g"
| rex field=solution mode=sed "s/<\/?\w+.*?\/?>//g"
