scheda Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'm having trouble with this regex... \<span class="yls-rs-listing-title" id="yls-rs-listing-title-\.*\">\.*\</span>\ Here's a sample string that it should be finding it in. <a rel="rel:Link" href="http://local.yahoo.com/info-14094857-curry-phillip-dvm-spca-of-north-brevard-wellness-titusville;_ylt=Aqjid9bbdVokS3CoB.iHLzCHNcIF;_ylv=3?csz=Titusville%2C+FL+32780" class="fn org yltiefix " name="14094857"><span class="yls-rs-listing-title" id="yls-rs-listing-title-14094857" property="dc:title" content="Curry, Phillip DVM - SPCA of North Brevard Wellness">Curry, Phillip DVM - SPCA of North Brevard Wellness</span></a> Any idea why this isn't working?

JasonLewis Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 What are you trying to match? What's inbetween the span? Not sure if this is the best way, but try this: #<span class=\"yls-rs-listing-title\".*?>(.*?)</span># Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheda Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Exactly, that's what I'm after. Sorry, should have clarified! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cags Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 ProjectFears answer looks roughly correct. The main problem with your original code was the placing of backslashes before the fullstops. This negates it's special meaning of 'catch-all' and makes \.* match 0 or more fullstop characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
