Ignore HTML tags removes text also

so i have an extractor pattern set up ;ole
[quote]

[/quote]

and it gives me
[quote]Madonna - Hung up
Hung Up - Madonna
Ryan Styles - Hung Up (Madonna)
[/quote]

i just want to strip all the bold tags or any other html tag. So i edit the token and apply the regular expression (i selected ignore html tags)
[quote](?:\s*<[^>]*>\s*)*[/quote] but when i try to apply this pattern it says that the data set is empty. What is going on?

and thanks in advance
