Question

I have a HTML source as input and would like to know what CMS the website is made in.
Many CMS leave their name in a meta tag like this:

<meta name="Generator" content="MY CMS" />   

I can get the result like this:

        Match match = Regex.Match(html, ".*(?i)meta.*generator.*");
        match = Regex.Match(match.ToString(), "content.*\".*\"");
        match = Regex.Match(match.ToString(), "\".*\"");

Gives me “MY CMS”

But is there any way to shorten it down to one Regex.Match?

Please notice, that the meta tag could be like this:

<meta content="MY CMS" name="Generator" />

Thanks and best regards

Try the following:

Regex regex = new Regex(@"<meta[^>]+content\s*=\s*['"]([^'"]+)['"][^>]*>");
Match match = regex.Match(input);

The value is in group 1.

Hope it helps.
