Change the pattern to '<black>\w+</black>'.

[Yowh]

it worked ! thanks :) but how about in this situation ?

str = 'shirt<black>shoes'

how can i get 2x1 cell that contains shirt and shoes ..

The same command still works, although output is a 1x2 cell array. Use transpose operator ' to get a 2x1 output.
