Question

I need a regex to match any p tag that has one or more strike tags inside it.
For example:

<p><strike>Match this</strike></p>
<p style="">Hey! <strike>Match this</strike> also</p>
<p><strike>Match this</strike> entire <strike>p tag</strike></p>

Thanks!

You can use this regex

<p[^<>]*>.*?<strike>.*?</p>

But parsing an html with regex is not recommended method.

Instead use an html parser like htmlagilitypack..

You can use this code to retrieve it using HtmlAgilityPack

HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(yourStream);

//strikeNodes contains all the p nodes
var strikeNodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//p[strike]");
//pText contains all p nodes in textual format
List<string> pText= doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//p[strike]").Select(x=>x.OuterHtml);
