Question

I want to get all HTML <p>...</p> in a document.
Using Regex to find all such strings using:

Regex regex = new Regex(@"\<p\>([^\>]*)\</p\>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

But I am not able to get any result. Is there anything wrong with my regular expression.?

For now, I just want to get everything that comes in between <p>...</p> tags and want to use Regex for this as the source is not an HTML document.

Answer 1

DO NOT PARSE HTML USING Regular Expressions!!!

Instead, use the HTML Agility Pack.

For example:

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

var pTags = doc.DocumentNode.Descendants("p");

EDIT: You can do this even if the document isn’t actually HTML.
