Searching a string

[tektipster79]

I'm looking for a way to search a string for a specific div, so that I can remove it. The div does have an id so it should be easy to find the start index, but I'm not sure how to indicate that the end index should be "</div>". How can I accomplish this?

You could potentially count the number of "<div>"s you find after the start index and ignore that number of "</div>"s. So after your start index, you find 3 more "<div>"...you then know that the 4th "</div>" is the one you're after.

...maybe?

I would use RegEx functions for this.

I was thinking along the lines of a regex too, but I'm not sure what the regex would be.

there are examples on line on how to stripout HTML tags and their content.

you could use a tool like Watin to parse the dom.
