Regex to get src value from an img tag
c#, html, regex
Solution
Parse your HTML with something else. HTML is not regular and thus regular expressions aren't at all suited to parsing it.
Use an HTML parser, or an XML parser if the HTML is strict. It's a lot easier to get the src attribute's value using XPath:
//img/@src
XML parsing is built into the `System.Xml` namespace. It's incredibly powerful. HTML parsing is a bit more difficult if the HTML isn't strict, but there are lots of libraries around that will do it for you.
Problem
I am using the following regex to get the `src` value of the first `img` tag in an HTML document. ``` string match = "src=(?:\"|\')?(?<imgSrc>[^>]*[^/].(?:jpg|png))(?:\"|\')?" ``` Now it captures total `src` attribute that I dont need. I just need the url inside the `src` attribute. How to do it?
