regex question

[John]

I am not sure if it is the right forum for Regex topic. If not, please point
me the right forum.
For a given string, such as the text read from an aspx file, I need to
programatically identify each asp.net server control. I am not an expert in
regex, can someone give me a hint to write it?

In the HTML, I need to identity the patterns for
<tag * runat="server" * />
or <tag * runat="server" * > * </tag>
In which tag is in the pattern of *:*

Then I need to get the start index and end index of the string that match
the pattern.
Thank you very much for your help!

Can't you just recursively loop through all controls on the page when it is
run?
