Get content between <p></p> tags in asp.net

Question

Hi,

I wanna read text between <p></p> tags which comes from database field. I think there may be html reader or something which I can assign the data including html tags retrieved from database to and use innerText(<p>) or something with I can get the text between <p> tags.

Is there any way to do something like that.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think you will need to parse the coming text from the db or search inside for the tags you want, you can also use Regex.

I mean you will need to write the innerText(<p>) your self

Answer 2

Take a look at HTML Agility Pack.

Answer 3

Convert it to XmlDocument and use Xpath to extract the content.

Answer 4

Whilst you could try a regular expression, the most robust way would be to use the HTML Agility Pack.

Answer 5

Is the data html or xhtml? For xhtml, load it into XmlDocument (or XDocument etc) and access InnerText on the root element (or the element of choice). For (non-x)html, the HTML Agility Pack serves a similar purpose, allowing xpath queries etc ("//p", for example).
