I'm trying to figure out how to extract 'something' while x is something that is all over the page. I have no experience with regex, and I tried to figure this out, but it's really hard and I guess I'm stupid.

<meta property="x" content="something" />

 

Can someone help me with this code please?

Quick explanation of that pattern:

 

 

<meta property="x" content="([^"]+)" />

 

Match the characters “<meta property="x" content="” literally

Match the regular expression below and capture its match into backreference number 1 «([^"]+)»

  Match any character that is NOT a “"” «[^"]+»

      Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy) «+»

Match the characters “" />” literally
