Html Agility Pack - Parsing <li>

Question

I want to scrape a list of facts from simple website. Each one of the facts is enclosed in a <li> tag. How would I do this using Html Agility Pack? Is there a better approach?

The only things enclosed in <li> tags are the facts and nothing else.

Answer 1

Something like:

List<string> facts = new List<string>();
foreach (HtmlNode li in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//li")) {
    facts.Add(li.InnerText);
}

Answer 2

How about a simple regex?

Dim tMatch As Match = Nothing
For Each tMatch In RegEx.Matches("\<li\>(?<Fact>.*?)\<\/li\>", tHTMLString)
    Console.WriteLine(tMatch.Groups("Fact").Value)
Next

Answer 3

Note that SelectNodes returns null when "... no node matched the XPath expression".
