Find text within HTML file

[Piotrekk]

Hi

Having a keyword i need to search HTML file for keyword dismissing all
the tags, and checking only plain text.
Is there an easy way to do it in C#?

Thanks

Hi Piotrekk,

For example, System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@"C:\text.txt").Contain s("something")

This will not do what i asked for.
This method only opens file and reads text. I need to find text within
HTML TAGS - text visible for the user opening the page.

Hi Piotrekk,

For example, System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@"C:\text.txt").Contain s("something")

Hi Alex,

Hmm, yeah, sorry. The simplest way is to match Regex like "search_string(?=[^>]*<)".
Other is defined by props of html (is it valid, what tags should be ingnored
and so on).

You could use a Regex.Replace statement with the correct Regex expression to
"clean" all the HTML tags from the text string of the HTML Page, but that
might not even be necessary since it is unlikely your keyword will be found
in HTML tag names or attributes.
Have you tried just:
int foundPosition = myHtmlString.IndexOf(keyWord) ... ?
this will return the first position of the keyword, or -1 if not found.

Have a look at
http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.as...tmlagilitypack
It is a luvly bit of freeware that will parse just about any xml
structure.
It is great for wandering around inside a HTML page plucking out and
inserting field values.
