Find HTML tags using RegEx.

[Thief_]

I have the following data in a web page:

<tr height="25">
<td nowrap class="odd" align="center"><img
src="/forums/images/icon_topic_new.gif" width=14 height=14 alt='New Topic'
border=0></td>

<td nowrap class="odd" align="center">&nbsp;</td>

<td nowrap class="odd" align="center">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="85%" class="even" align="left"><font class="new-row"><a
href="topic.asp?tid=106898">
Working with Sequential Text Files</a>&nbsp;</font>
<font class="sub-row">in .NET&nbsp;/&nbsp;.NET Newbies</font><font
class="sub-row"><br>Started 7/24/2005 - pages <a
href="topic.asp?tid=106898">1</a> - last posted by <a
href="profile.asp?action=view&id=jmcilhinney"
onmouseover="window.status='Show the authors profile'; return true;"
onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">jmcilhinney</a></font></td>
<td width="15%" class="even" valign="middle" align="left"><font
class="new-row"><a href="profile.asp?action=view&id=USMC93"
onmouseover="window.status='Show the authors profile'; return true;"
onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">USMC93</a></font></td>
<td nowrap class="odd" valign="middle" align="center"><font
class="new-row">6</font></td>
<td nowrap class="odd" valign="middle" align="left">
<font class="new-row">7/24/2005<br>
<font class="sub-row">8:42:37 PM</font></font></td>
</tr>

It's repeated over and over but with different data and is amongst other
unrelated data. I need to capture the following data:

* "topic.asp?tid=106898"
* "Working with Sequential Text Files"
* "in .NET"
* ".NET Newbies"
* "Started 7/24/2005"
* "pages" and "1"
* "last posted by"
* "jmcilhinney"
* "USMC93"
* "7/24/2005"
* "8:42:37 PM"

If someone can show me the Regex to capture say the first two items, I'll
try to figger out the rest.

Thanks.

Thief,

Although that fore capturing HTML tags is MSHTML (what is a terrible class
to use). You can as well maybe use the method I showed you in the next
question you showed us.

Rather than a RegEx (which you'll agree will be pretty hideous), might
I recommend HtmlAgilityPack for all your HTML parsing needs?

It makes dealing with HTML a breeze
