Android Question Regex help

[Sergey_New]

It is necessary to remove the value <A HREF="UID50B5C7EEF7"> from the given string.
The highlighted characters can be any letters or numbers in any quantity.
Please help with the regular expression.

 

[Sergey_New]

Do you want to sort the extraction of tag values in a defined order?

Yes, first the word that does not contain "<A HREF=", then the rest, without taking into account sorting.

?
First the Outside Tag

Of the six given word combination options, there can only be one option, not all six.

Take a look at RegexBuddy. It provides a visual interface to build and test Regex using several different input strings.

Not only can you check an intended result outside the B4X IDE environment, but it is also a great visual vehicle for learning Regex.

First the Outside Tag

Checked, it is output in the order I asked for.
I would like to see group names used (instead of numbers), including for non-output string values (UIDD0, UID50).
TILogistic, thank you very much for your help!

I read the help for Matcher for B4X.
It turns out that Matcher does not have the ability to name groups, unlike other languages.
Please help with a pattern:

Dim Pattern As String = "(<[^>]+>([^<]+)</[^>]+>)|([^<]+)"

so that two more groups are added for the values UIDD0, UID50. Original line:

html = $"<A HREF="UIDD0">Nombre Apellido</A><A HREF="UID50">Origen 1 2</A>Tarea 1 2"$

If no one has suggested a solution, then I will use aeric advice:

Sub Process_Globals
    Private HtmlParser As MiniHtmlParser
    Type Link (Name As String, Data As String)
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    FindLink
End Sub

Sub FindLink
    HtmlParser.Initialize
    Dim txt As String = $"<A HREF="UID50B">Source</A>Task<A HREF="UIDD03">Name</A>"$
    Dim root As HtmlNode = HtmlParser.Parse(txt)
    Dim links As List
    links.Initialize
    Dim nodes As Int = root.Children.Size
    For i = 0 To nodes - 1
        Dim node As HtmlNode = root.Children.Get(i)
        Dim lnk As Link
        lnk.Initialize
        Select node.Name
            Case "A"
                lnk.Name = HtmlParser.GetTextFromNode(node, 0)
                lnk.Data =HtmlParser.GetAttributeValue(node,"HREF","value")
            Case "text"
                lnk.Name = HtmlParser.GetAttributeValue(node, "value", "")
                lnk.Data = ""
        End Select
        links.Add(lnk)
    Next
    links.SortType("Data",True)
End Sub

aeric, thank you!
