Question

I have simple html code:

<span class="someclass" title="4.5 stars"></span>

or it could be:

<span class="someclass" title="5 stars"></span>

I used ((\d+\.\d+)|(\d+)) star but it extracted me 3 groups, I need one with numeric value.

How can I extract 4.5 and 5 in both strings using Regex in one group?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try removing the inner parentheses:

(\d+\.\d+|\d+) star

Also, you may wish to consider using an HTML parser to extract the attributes first rather than applying the regular expression directly to the raw HTML.
