Question

Parsing string and making list of required data

Answer 1

+1 A:

Regular expressions will do this nicely:

class Program
{
    private const string PATTERN = @".style[\d]+{[^}]*}";

    private const string STYLE_STRING = @"  .right {          }      td{         }   table{          }   .style1{          }   .style2{          }   .style15{          }  .style20{        }";

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var matches = Regex.Matches(STYLE_STRING, PATTERN);
        var styleList = new List<string>();

        for (int i = 0; i < matches.Count; i++)
        {
            styleList.Add(matches[i].ToString());
        }

        styleList.ForEach(Console.WriteLine);

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Looks nice buddy but i ws looking fo dynamic...style values may differ

I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for. This will grab all the styles and their content.

looking for all possible occurrences of style i can't make it hardcore for style1,styl2,style15..regex may help but i am not in regex..skip right,td,table tags s

every time for different files style data will change..so i want it to work for all possible conditions. so it w+il check style dataS are there and will make list<> of style dataS present in <style> </style> tag. I really appreciate your help.

The regular expression will match any style declaration like this: style### { //any content here }, so as long as your pages conform to that pattern, you should be good. The regex pattern will only return those particular styles. If, for some reason, you cannot use regular expressions, you would need to manually do string manipulation, which will be a serious pain.
