Using regexps seems to always boil down to debugging a regexp expression to have it give you what you want. First of all, check the response of whatever the regexp is attached to, in order to verify that it is, in fact, returning what you think you're looking for.
If it is, then I usually find it helpful to start paring stuff off my regular expression until it works. You never know what the regexp isn't going to like. Set it up to match promiscuously, perhaps just (.*) to start and then start adding things until it breaks. Then look at why it's breaking on what it is. I always prefer the xpath extractor over the regexp extractor when I can use it, as it takes much less fiddling to make it work. Usually with the xpath extractor I just need to remember to click "use tidy" and I'm good. -- Bruce Ide flyingrhenqu...@gmail.com
