ASK how to get a string between <!-- and --> ?

[hillzx]

Hey guys, i really need your help, i have no idea about regex, how to get a string between <!-- and --> ?

For example :

Task:
<!--Hello there-->
<!--This is a test string-->

Result:
Hello there
This is a test string

Thank you for your help..

Depends how are you reading that string, if you are doing it individually then you just do something like:

MyString = "<!--Hello there-->"
MyString = MyString.Replace("<!--", "").Replace("-->", "")

Thanks for your reply, but i have a little problem, in my case, i have to catch only string <!-- --> inside a whole source code of webpage and ignore another character outside of <!-- and -->

do you have another solution sir ?

Here is another version of it... This can find more than one in a complete source...
Have fun with it ;-)

search = "some useless other text... <!-- try --> some useless other text... <!-- to --> some useless other text... <!-- find --> some useless other text... <!-- more... -->"

results in

try
to
find
more

This might work

Dim result(99) As String
Dim answer As List
answer.Initialize
Dim M As Matcher
M = Regex.Matcher("(<!--).*(-->)",String1) 'String1 is the text you are searching
Do While M.Find
    i = i + 1
    result(i) = M.Match.Replace("<!--", "").Replace("-->", "")
    answer.Add(result(i))
Loop
