Alright so I want to grab the information on a website thats between
[usernames] and [/usernames]
I know how to get the string but how would I use regex to only have the information in the middle.
Remember I am going to be having more then one thing on the page.
You are better off parsing the document for every instance.
regex to match one instance would be
/<usernames>([^<]+?)<\/usernames>/
'Sample input
Dim html = "<html><head><title>Test</title></head>" & vbNewLine & "<body><p>[usernames]Your Name Here[/usernames]</p>[usernames]Another Name Here[/usernames]</body></html>"
'Named pattern
Dim p = "\[usernames\](?<UserNames>.*?)\[/usernames\]"
'Grab all of the matches
Dim Matches = Regex.Matches(html, p, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase Or RegexOptions.Singleline)
'Make sure we found something
If Matches IsNot Nothing AndAlso Matches.Count > 0 Then
'Loop through all of the matches
For Each Match As Match In Matches
'Make sure our sub-group was a success
If Match.Groups("UserNames").Success Then
Trace.WriteLine(Match.Groups("UserNames").Value)
End If
Next
End If
