Hi All,
I am learning Regular Expression and currently i am trying to capture
information from web page.
I wrote the following code to capture the ID as well as the Title
Dim regex = New Regex( _
"viewtopic.php\?t=(?<ID>\d+)""\sclass=""topictitle "">(?<Title>.*)\</a>",
_
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase _
Or RegexOptions.Multiline _
Or RegexOptions.Compiled _
)
It works fine
Now i am trying to get the post date by using the following regex
"s=""postdetails"">(?<Date>.*)\<br />"
It works fine too, but when i combine the two reg ex together (That is
"viewtopic.php\?t=(?<ID>\d+)""\sclass=""topictitle "">(?<Title>.*)\</a>.*s=""
postdetails"">(?<Date>.*)\<br />"", it cannot got the correct data, could
anyone know how can i fix this? whatz wrong on my regex?
Thx a lot
Regards,
Norton
(Here is the source text for reg exp to take place, the ID i want to capture
is 245090, title is "Can someone help me import a database" and the date is
Wed Dec 08, 2004 6:31 pm)
