i want to download the "/len/aaproximat...php"..i didnt find the suitable regex for it..and i need to download that page..can anyone help?
im using vb.net
Normally it's not recommended to parse HTML with a regex, with the exception if this is a simple page that you know the format of, the Html Agility Pack is often recommended for this purpose instead.
Be aware though, if you're parsing this from a page that's on the internet, the site in question might have T&Cs for the usage of their data that you might need to follow to stay legal.
Do you want to download the php file itself with all the codes and not the only html codes? If it's in that case it's not possible
Use WebClient.DownloadString method for downloading. If you haven't found a suitable expression to extract that "Span" from the source, then build you own.
