<![CDATA[<div><b>ID:</b> 40</div><div><b>Name:</b> John</div>]]>

How can i parse the ID & Name with values ?

Answer 1

you can do this using HtmlAgilityPAck and Regex as fallows:

  HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument(); string a = "<![CDATA[<div><b>ID:</b> 40</div><div><b>Name:</b> John</div>]]>"; doc.LoadHtml(Regex.Match(Regex.Match(a, @"\\[([^)]*)\\]").Groups[1].Value, @"\\[([^)]*)\\]").Groups[1].Value); var divs = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div"); string ID = divs[0].InnerText.Split(':')[1]; string Name = divs[1].InnerText.Split(':')[1]; 

this works for me with your data example
