I highly recommend getting Regular Expression Workbench by Eric Gunnerson .
It helps a lot with this sort of stuff.

The important thing is to set RegexOptions to SingleLine. Another important
note is to use .*? to match zero or more character between span tags, but
non-greedy (the ? makes it non greedy) that is- match the next </span> tag
found.
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex regex = new
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"<span class="x">(?<Text>.*?)</span>",
System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.Single line);
Match match = regex..Match(str);
It will create a capture called Text. see ms help for Match.Captures for
what to do with the result of the above line.

Hello,
i want to parse some html with regex and have the following problem:
--- html to parse start ---
some text <span class="x">
some text with linebreaks
and tabs and <b>tags <i>in it</i>
goes here
</span> another text
--- html to parse end ---
Now my question: How do I have to write the pattern so I get
"some text with linebreaks and tabs and <b>tags <i>in it</i> goes here"
as a match?
TIA Martin
