使用C＃中的正则表达式从html字符串中提取句子

Question

I have a control that returns a datatable which consists of html code as a string in each row. I'm trying to use Regex to extract only the words enclosed within the HTML tags

{[h]</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff6600; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What do they mean today?</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">[/h]}

I want to extract only the sentence What do they mean today? or any sentence that consists of more than 1 word.

I tried (/w*/s?)* but seems to only look at the beginning of the string and not throughout the whole string. I'm not very good with regular expressions. Any help will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You could use the below regex to grab the string you want.

@"(?<=>)[^<>]+(?=<)"

But regex is not the recommended way to parse html files.
