Regex.Matcher woes...

[ChrShe]

Good day,
Given the following input:

<div class="list-animal-name"><a href="wsAdoptableAnimalDetails.aspx?id=13069119&css=adoptableSearch.css" >Jed</a></div>

I've tried using variations of:

Regex.Matcher("class=\""list-animal-name\"">([^>]+)", page)

However, that seems to be hacing off the end of the line, just before ">Jed".
One thing, about the input line, is that the number following "id=" is never the same twice.

So, how can I use the matcher to grab just "Jed" from the above line?

THANKS in advance!

Here:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim s As String = "<div class=""list-animal-name""><a href=""wsAdoptableAnimalDetails.aspx?id=13069119&css=adoptableSearch.css"" >Jed</a></div>"
   Dim m As Matcher = Regex.Matcher("class=\""([^""]+)\""><[^>]+>([^>]+)</a>", s)
   Do While m.Find
      Log(m.Group(2))
   Loop
End Sub

Thank you very much!!!

Is there a page that describes what all the bits in the pattern mean?

How do I know if I need "/[+)" or "([^>+)"?

Thanks again!!!!

There are many online tutorials about regular expressions. I like this one: Regular-Expressions.info - Regex Tutorial, Examples and Reference - Regexp Patterns
