Regular expression for text between tags 2

[RyanEK]

Hi,

Let's say I have the following text...

<div class="info">
<h5>Test1</h5>
<a href="/19369/">Test1a</a><br/>
</div>

<div class="info">
<h5>Test2</h5>
<a href="/19361/">Test2a</a><br/>
</div>

<div class="info">
<h5>Test3</h5>
<a href="/19360/">Test3a</a><br/>
</div>

What regex pattern can I use to grab a collection of texts between the <div class="info"> and </div> tags? ie. 3 occurrences?

Any help would be appreciated. A star for any helpful answer Thanks.

Ryan

Hmmm still can't seem to get the right pattern. From my example above, how would I return this match (1 of 3)?

<h5>Test1</h5>
<a href="/19369/">Test1a</a><br/>

Thanks

<div class="info">(.*?)</div>

Unfortunately there is a degree of freedom that innerHTML can have is the line-break/tab whitespaces. Hence, .*? is defective in capturing them in that generality. A restricted scope pattern (still with many assumptions) in the same vein would be like this.
[tt] string pattern=@"<div class=""info"">[\s\S]*?</div>";[/tt]

An improvement of directly getting the submatches would be to make good use of the .net added supported of look-behind, like this.
[tt] string pattern=@"(?<=<div class=""info"">)[\s\S]*?(?=</div>)";[/tt]

the overloaded Regex.Matches(input, pattern, regexoption) may also help in this scenario.

Thanks Tsuji, that's exactly what I was looking for
