How to extract a sequence from this log with rex command

splunk2019tlmd
Engager

I have this log :

        <LST>
      <S>Watch</S>
      <S>Move</S>
      <S>Delete</S>
      <S>Flip</S>
    </LST>

And I want to extract this part with rex syntax :

  <S>Watch</S>
      <S>Move</S>
      <S>Delete</S>
      <S>Flip</S>

But I am not having success , I think is because the specials characters.

Thank you in advance

It works but the outputs is one line, in case I want the sequence (Move Delete Flip) ) in one line, I guess I have to replicate the example. Thank you
