Regex: To pull out a sub-string between two tags in a string *

Question

I have a file in the following format:

Data Data
Data
[Start]
Data i want
[End]
Data

I'd like to grab the Data i want from between the [Start] and [End] tags using a RegEx. Can anyone show me how this might be done?

Answer

\[start\]\s*(((?!\[start\]|\[end\]).)+)\s*\[end\]

This should hopefully drop the [start] and [end] markers as well.
