Second Try - Regex Question

[Just Me]

I need a regex to do this.
Ignore < possibleWhiteSp ace htmlTag

Replace whitespace anything >

With >

Basically I need to remove anything following the html tag up to and
including the closing tag

Any help is appreciated.

Hmmm are you trying to do this?

< TAG becomes < TAG>?

You can try this to match the entire tag (and the parts within the tag):

\<(?<leading>\s )*(?<tag>\w)+(? <trailing>\s)*\ >

The regex above uses named groups so that you can references parts of
the matches in code. Take a look at RegEx.Match.Gro ups for details.

If you want to do pure search, replace, this should work:

RegEx.Replace(M yHTML, "(\s)*\>", ">")

(\s)+ matches zero or more spaces. \matches the trailing tag.

I hope that's what you want.

parsing ""(\s)*>", ">")" - Too many )'s. // Error from regex.
[\w|\d]*=.*This almost works, but it leaves out all the text contained by
the element.
