How to get the part of the html code from html code in c#?

Question

In My program i have used string variable content. I have assigned a small HTML program for this string. For Example,

String content = "<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Your Title Here</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY><H2>This is a Medium Header Send me mail at<a href="mailto:support@yourcompany.com">support@yourcompany.com</a>.This is a new sentence without a paragraph break.</H2></BODY></HTML>";

From this i want to get "This is a Medium Header Send me mail at support@yourcompany.com.This is a new sentence without a paragraph break." alone.

This string available inside the tag. how i get this string using c#.

Answer 1

Don't use string methods or regex to parse HTML. You can use HtmlAgilityPack .

string content = "<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Your Title Here</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY><H2>This is a Medium Header Send me mail at<a href=\"mailto:support@yourcompany.com\">support@yourcompany.com</a>.This is a new sentence without a paragraph break.</H2></BODY></HTML>";

var doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(content);
string headerText = doc.DocumentNode.Descendants("H2").First().InnerText;

Result:

This is a Medium Header Send me mail atsupport@yourcompany.com.This is a new sentence without a paragraph break.

How to use:

// input string
string content = "<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Your Title Here</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY><H2>This is a Medium Header Send me mail at<a href=\"mailto:support@yourcompany.com\">support@yourcompany.com</a>.This is a new sentence without a paragraph break.</H2></BODY></HTML>";

// extract html body
string htmlBody = Regex.Match(content, @"^.*?<body>(.*)</body>.*?$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Groups[1].Value;

// plain text
string plainText = Tools.HtmlFormatHelper.HtmlToPlainText(htmlBody);
//: This is a Medium Header Send me mail atsupport@yourcompany.com.This is a new sentence without a paragraph break.

// plain text (with url in brackets)
string plainTextSmart = Tools.HtmlFormatHelper.HtmlToPlainTextSmart(htmlBody);
//: This is a Medium Header Send me mail atsupport@yourcompany.com (mailto:support@yourcompany.com).This is a new sentence without a paragraph break.
