But he also asked how to extract values from a string,
and - for other problems, rather not for this one -
that knowledge might actually be useful.

Right, although in that case= I would use slightly less arcane features:

irb(main):001:0>=A0 &= #39;=A0 <tr>Test</tr>'[%r{<tr>(.*?)</tr>}, 1] =3D> "Test"
irb(main):002:0>=A0 '=A0 <tr>Test&= lt;/tr>'[%r{(?<=3D<tr>)(.*?)(?=3D</tr>)}]
=3D> = "Test"

Kind regards
