I have a text file that contains an HTML code, and I want to take only specific tags and save them using C#!
I was thinking to do it with few Regex lines, is it the best and easiest way to do so?! or there’s an easier function in C# that can do it?
Using Regex is probably not the best way to do this, actually I would say that it’s one of the numerous “bad” ideas which you could think of.
You might want to look into using the HTMLAgilityPack: it will parse the HTML, create a tree of nodes which you can navigate and you will be able to look at the tags which you’re interested without doing any “crazy” regex. You’ll save yourself a lot of trouble if you avoid regex, since HTML as it is found in the wild can be poor, nasty and brutish, though quite often far from short.
