Regular expressions Problem

[Michael Persaud]

Hello,

I am trying to use the following in a project to identify a table that is ided="news of the day"

Function readHtmlPage(url As String) As String

result = ....'as string
dim regexp as regex = New Regex("<table>((.|\n)News of(*?))</table>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
dim str as string
Dim objMatch as Match
For Each objMatch in regexp.Matches(result)
Str= objMatch.ToString()
Next
return str'result

But its not getting anything. Please let me know what is wrong with getting the "News of " string

Thanks

I figured that the problem was i dint import the namespace

My other issue is that i need to replace the results if there is any href=
to something else ???

any suggestions appreciated
Thanks
