What am I doing wrong?

Okay this regex $(.+)^ finds whole lines with text in them.

But I don't want lines that start with <, so I tried this $([^<].+)^
but that includes any preceding blank line and the next line, whether it starts with < or not, and I don't know why.

I want whole lines (not empty) that don't start with a tag.
