Question

I have the following two strings and would like to search for when they occur, I’m struggling as they are on different lines with a tab within the HTML file I’m using.

<span class="price">$17.95</span> 




    <span class="supersaver">

This is what I have tried so far, the value of the price can change, I have tried with just \s+ by itself and also with a combination \n+\t+ etc..

MatchCollection m1 = Regex.Matches(file, @"<span class=""price"">[$]\d+[.]\d+</span>\n+\t+<span class=""supersaver"">",
                    RegexOptions.Singleline);

I’ve added the quotes in…

Answer 1

Try this:

MatchCollection m1 = Regex.Matches(file, @"<span class=price>[$]\d+[.]\d+</span>[\s\n\t.]+<span class=supersaver>",
                RegexOptions.Singleline);

your solution had to have one or more spaces followed by tabs and no line, the regex above should match any of them.
