Split html row into string array?

Short answer: never try to parse HTML from the wild with regular expressions. It will most likely come back to haunt you Longer answer: As long as you can absolutely, positively guarantee that the HTML that you are parsing fits the given structure, you can use string.Split() as Jenni suggested string html = "001MC HammerCan't Touch This"; string values = html. Split(new string { "","","","" }, StringSplitOptions.

RemoveEmptyEntries); List list = new List(values) Listing the tags independently keeps this slightly more readable, and the RemoveEmptyEntries will keep you from getting an empty string in your list between adjacent closing and opening tags If this HTML is coming from the wild, or from a tool that may change - in other words, if this is more than a one-off transaction - I strongly encourage you to use something like the HTML Agility Pack instead. It's pretty easy to integrate, and there are lots of examples on the Intarwebs.

Cool, I didn't know string. Split could take an array, so that's enough to solve it for me. Thanks – fearofawhackplanet Aug 4 '10 at 16:00.

When parsing HTML, I usually turn to the HTML Agility Pack. htmlagilitypack.codeplex.com.

Excellent component. – David Lively Aug 4 '10 at 15:40.

You could try: Row. Split /||/ But it depends on how regular the HTML is. Is it programmatically generated, or does a human write it?

You should only use a regular expression if you're sure it will always be generated the same way, otherwise you should use a proper HTML parser.

If your HTML is well-formed you could use LINQ to XML: string input = @" 001MC HammerCan't Touch This 002Tone LocFunky Cold Medina 003FunkdoobiestBow Wow Wow "; var xml = XElement. Parse(input); // query each row foreach (var row in xml. Elements("tr")) { foreach (var item in row.

Elements("td")) { Console. WriteLine(item. Value); } Console.WriteLine(); } // if you really need a string array... var query = xml.

Elements("tr") . Select(row => row. Elements("td") .

Select(item => item. Value) .ToArray()); foreach (var item in query) { // foreach over item content // or access via item0...n }.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
