Regex beginner problem

[Ginola]

Hi,

I have a beginner of C# and I need to fix the bug for someone!!

I have the codes like this

Regex re = new Regex(@"<TR VALIGN=top><TD></TD>.*?</TD></TR>");
MatchCollection theMatches = re.Matches(content);
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
foreach (Match theMatch in theMatches)

for the string at the bottom...
some how it couldn't get any value ( couldn't get into the foreach
loop )

Does howone point out the problem ??
Please help me, thanks.

Ginola,

You need to have your regex process the HTML as a single line of
text:

Regex re = new Regex(@"<TR VALIGN=top><TD></TD>.*?</TD></TR>",
RegexOptions.Singleline);


Hope this helps.

Chris.

You need to specify the Singleline option, which will allow the "." in your
expression to match across multiple lines:

Regex re = new Regex(@"<TR
VALIGN=top><TD></TD>.*?</TD></TR>",RegexOptions.Singleline);
