need help with regex to find address

[ehicks727]

Hi, I have a recurring pattern like this...

</table>
              
              <br>                            
              
              <br>

              ACME Co.
              
              <br>
              123 Main St.
              
              <br>
              Smallville
              
              &nbsp;FL
              
              &nbsp;12345
              
                <br />

I am trying to figure out a regex that will find anything matching the table and two breaks, and then a wildcard, the nbsp another wildcard, the second nbsp, another wildcard, and then end on the closed br tag.

I hope that made sense.

I know this is TOTALLY wrong, but here's what I started with.

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^.*</table><br><br>.*&nbsp;.*&nbsp;.*<br />$");
            Matcher matcher = p.matcher(html);
            if (matcher.matches()) {
                    System.out.println(matcher.group());
                }

I would greatly appreciate your help figuring this out. Thanks!

nevermind... I figured it out. Went a little old-school and used a lot of .indexOf()

Maybe if you're planning to do this very often you should consider parsing the XML.
