A non-optimized, format-dependent, not very robust PCRE [Perl-compatible reg-ex] (tested in TextWrangler) to grab an HTML comment could be:

Replace:  \1

No no no no... sorry. I shouldn't have confused the issue by using tags in the example. I want to pull the text that falls between to random types of strings. Use this example:

set theString to "Foo I'm all that remains Bar"

set newString to do shell script "echo '" & theString & "' | perl something 'Foo' something 'bar';print"

That clearer?
