An ungreedy regular expression to fetch title from a page

Question

Hello

I want to get the title of a web page using C#. So i'm requesting that page and getting the response page and using a regular expression to extract the title.

string regex = @"(?<=)([\s\S]*)(?=)/";

But i saw a site having two titles such as

<title>Page Title</title>
<link href="...."/>
<title>Page Title</title>

So when i use the above Regex i get the title as

Page Title</title><link href="...."/><title>Page Title

I know that Regular expressions are greedy. How to modify the Regex as ungreedy so that it gives me "Page Title"?

Answer 1

To ungreed your * you can use *?

Answer 2

(?<=(<\s*title\s*>))((\s|\S)*?)(?=<\s*\/\s*title\s*>)
