regex problem

[Senna]

Hi all,

Thru a HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse I get html like this(<pre>
excluded).

<pre>
<tr>

<td valign="top" align="right" class="SgSVT1BG" nowrap style="
padding-right: 6px "><div class="SgZText"><span
class="SgSVT1">18.00</span></div></td>

<td valign="top"><div style="padding-left: 5; padding-right: 0;
padding-top: ; padding-bottom: 4;"><span class="SgSVT1Title"

Bolibompa</span><div class="SgZText"></div></div>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td valign="top" align="right" class="SgSVT1BG" nowrap style="
padding-right: 6px "><div class="SgZText"><span
class="SgSVT1">18.01</span></div></td>

<td valign="top"><div style="padding-left: 5; padding-right: 0;
padding-top: ; padding-bottom: 4;"><span class="SgSVT1Title" >Leksakernas
hemliga liv</span><div class="SgZText">
Dockfilmserie om leksakernas egna helt otroliga värld. Serien kommer
från USA och är gjord av Jim Henson, pappa till Mupparna.
Del 9 av 13.
</div></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td valign="top" align="right" class="SgSVT1BG" nowrap style="
padding-right: 6px "><div class="SgZText"><span
class="SgSVT1">18.30</span></div></td>

<td valign="top"><div style="padding-left: 5; padding-right: 0;
padding-top: ; padding-bottom: 4;"><span class="SgSVT1Title" >Josef Lamm vill
också ha en människa</span><div class="SgZText">
Josef Lamm är ett litet lamm som önskar sig en liten människa att
kela med.
</div></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
</pre>

The part I'm interested in is "</a><div class="SgZText">...</div>" or
"</span><div class="SgZText">...</div>".

.... = any characters

I'm trying like this

MatchCollection mcInfos = Regex.Matches(data, "(span><div
class=\"SgZText\">.*</div>)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach(Match m in mcInfos)
Response.Write(m.Value + "<br/>");

But I get nothing. Any one that can help?

Hi Tomas,

Had tried that but the problem is that it doesnt get the wanted data. In
this code for example:
<tr>

<td valign="top" align="right" class="SgSVT1BG" nowrap style="
padding-right: 6px "><div class="SgZText"><span
class="SgSVT1">11.30</span></div></td>

<td valign="top"><div style="padding-left: 5; padding-right: 0;
padding-top: ; padding-bottom: 4;"><span class="SgSVT1Title"

Försvarspropositionen</span><div class="SgZText"> Regeringens försvarspolitiska förslag.
Direktsändning från Rosenbad följt av kommentarer från opposition och
experter.
</div></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>

I receive "<span class="SgSVT1">11.30</span>" and that is correct cause its
in between "<div class="SgZText">...</div>" to. But the snippet I really
wanted was "Regeringens försvarspolitiska förslag.
Direktsändning från Rosenbad följt av kommentarer från opposition och
experter."

Any ideas?

Hi Senna,

I copied your code into SnippetCompiler and I tweaked the regular expression
slightly.

From the HTML i guess you are trying to extract the text located between the
div tags. I came up with the following regular expression:

"<div class=\"SgZText\">(.*)</div>"

Then use the same as before but slightly modify your foreach to
foreach(Match m in mcInfos)
Response.Write(m.Groups[1] + "<br/>");

By using the Groups[1] you target the part of the regular expression (.*)
which is all the information contained between the tags.

Try that out and let me know if it works for you.

Hi Senna,

Rather than depending upon others to work out your Regular Expressions for
you, here is a link to a freeware Regular Expression tool that works
beautifully for building and testing Regular Expressions:

http://www.weitz.de/regex-coach/

If you use it, you probably won't ever have to ask another Regular
Expression syntax question of anyone again.
