At Regexpal(.)com you can try your regexp skills.
And at regular-expressions.info/examples(.)html you have "Grabbing HTML Tags" with an example very close to your wishes:
| Quote: | <TAG\b[^>]*>(.*?)</TAG> Analyze this regular expression with RegexBuddy matches the opening and closing pair of a specific HTML tag. Anything between the tags is captured into the first backreference. The question mark in the regex makes the star lazy, to make sure it stops before the first closing tag rather than before the last, like a greedy star would do. This regex will not properly match tags nested inside themselves, like in <TAG>one<TAG>two</TAG>one</TAG>.
<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)\b[^>]*>(.*?)</\1> Analyze this regular expression with RegexBuddy will match the opening and closing pair of any HTML tag. Be sure to turn off case sensitivity. The key in this solution is the use of the backreference \1 in the regex. Anything between the tags is captured into the second backreference. This solution will also not match tags nested in themselves. |

Here is a good place to start : The 30 minute Regex tutorial.
Example which I think should do what you require:
Tested with Expresso.

what regex matcher are you using
VB6? Vb.NET? C#? C++/Boost? Javascript? Java? PHP?
I use VB6.. and the default settings are very wrong it only matches the first match in VB6.. so these are the settings I use to match all..
I'd use IgnoreCase for <p> and <P> small and big tags.
| Code: |
Set myRegExp = New RegExp
myRegExp.MultiLine = False
myRegExp.IgnoreCase = True
myRegExp.Global = True
