Subject: Regexp: rubular VS match. Why is the result different ?

I have to capture by means of regexp the content between '<' and '>'

as instance:

str = 'anystring<hour>anystring<min>anystring<sec>anystring'
I need the array['hour','min,'sec']

I have written the regexp: /(<([^<>]+)>)+/
and I have tested it in rubular.com site (It work !)

I have run it in irb:
>> /(<([^<>]+)>)+/.match('anystring<hour>anystring<min>anystring<sec>anystring')
=> #<MatchData "<hour>" 1:"<hour>" 2:"hour">
>>
As you can see match method return just the first match in MatchData obj

Do you know why ?

thank you,
Alessandro
