Thank you. I'm now using this regular expression: <a .*<\/a><br\/>\s*.*\s+<br\/>\s+<a .*<\/a>\s+<br\/>\s+(.*)\s+<br\/>
This matches the first two links, the text between the first two links, the text I'm after, and the <br /> tag after it. One note though: it seems Watir takes out the forward slashes in the <br /> tags. My real code uses "<br> in place of "<br/>". - Aaron -----Original Message----- From: watir-general@googlegroups.com [mailto:watir-gene...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark Anderson Sent: July 29, 2009 6:11 PM To: watir-general@googlegroups.com Subject: [wtr-general] Re: Getting text between two <br /> tags Here's how I would do it with a regular expression: $ie.html =~ /<br\/>\s*(.*)\s*<br\/>\s*Updated/ puts $1 That doesn't pull the tab before 'Text', and assumes that 'Updated' only appears once in the html. I don't guarantee that this regexp will work with any text other than what you provided above, where it returns "Text I want to extract." in $1 and spits it out to the screen. Hope this gives you a starting place. /\/\ark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
