You should use function preg_match_all.

This is the code for the first problem:

<?php
$string="<@abc@> asd <@ff@> <@aaa@>";
$pattern='/(abc)/';
preg_match_all($pattern,$string,$result);
echo $result[0][0];
?>

This is the code for the second problem:

<?php
$string="<@abc@> asd <@ff@> <@aaa@>";
$pattern='/<(.*?)>/';
preg_match_all($pattern,$string,$result);
echo $result[0][0];
?>

You have to adjust pattern for the first code, this way it just retrieves 'abc'.
