Hi

I am trying to write a expression in ASP that will match everything between div tag

ReplacedString = RegularExpressionObject.Replace(body, news)

The test file that i used contain:

<div id="news"><tr>
<td>somethign here</td>
</tr></div>

and news is HTML code

I try a few expression but could find the pattern

I have tried
"(<div id=""news"">)((.)*)(</div>)" - Only work without new line

 I have tried that

"(<div id=""news"">)((.*\n*)*)(</div>)"

"(<div id=""news"">)((.*\n?)*)(</div>)"

but when ever i run it then it take more then 5 mins and still not giving out any thing.

Can you please show me how to do it please?Thanks a lot in advance.

regEx.Pattern = "<div id=""news"">[\S\s]*?</div>"

or less preferable:

regEx.Pattern = "<div id=""news"">(?:.|\n)*?</div>"

regEx.Pattern = "(?<=<div id=""news"">)[^<]+(?=</div>)"

 or contents of any div tag:

glz, there's a few problems with those patterns, first of all the patterns assume no <> tags exist within the div (which is not the case), and Classic ASP does not support (?<=).

Of course, if a <div> section can contain another one (or more) nested within it, then all bets are off and you will need to use some of the various 'balanced delimiter' techniques - if any are possible with 'classic ASP'!
