Question

I want to extract the value “64,111” from this piece of text (html markup).

     <tr>
     <th id="abc-xyz">Page <span class="sub">avg</span></th>
    <td headers="abc-xyz">
    10th Aug, 2011  </td>
  <td headers="abc-xyz">64,111</td>
     </tr>

I am currently using this regex -:

Match m2 = Regex.Match(text, @"\<td headers=""abc-xyz""\>(.*?)\</td\>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

But no results ,Please tell me what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

escape the double quote with \

Match m2 = Regex.Match(text, "(?<=<td\sheaders=\"abc-xyz\">).*(?=</td>)", 
                       RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
