I am an amateur at best with regexp. I am trying to search for a string
like:

<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPD..." />

Within an html document and get the value of value="xxx".

I have this:

Match _viewstateValue = Regex.Match(content, "<input .*?id=\"__VIEWSTATE\"
..*?value=\"([^\"].*)");

But it returns just the whole line not the value... I'm stuck. What is the
best way to drill all the way down to that value?

Thanks,

Steffan

Yes, this is because what your regexp matches...
You might want to use $1

How would I format this regexp? Still with Regex.Match ?

Thanks,
