you should look at the (?) directive syntax such as (?i) = case sensitive (?si) = ignore line endings + case sensitive (?Usi) = ungreedy + ignore + sensitive
I think you want [greedy + ignore line endings] so use put "(?s)<div id="linklist">(.*?)</html>" into regEx get matchChunk(textBlock,regEx,charpos1,charpos2) delete char charpos1 to charpos2 of textBlock This should get you close to what you want.
