Regex Non-Greedy (Lazy)
c#, html-table, non-greedy, regex
Solution
The regex you want is `<TD[^>]*>`:
< # Match opening tag
TD # Followed by TD
[^>]* # Followed by anything not a > (zero or more)
> # Closing tag
Note: `.` matches anything (including whitespace) so `[.\s]*?` is redundant and wrong as `[.]` matches a literal `.` so use `.*?`.
Problem
I'm attempting to non-greedily parse out TD tags. I'm starting with something like this: ``` <TD>stuff<TD align="right">More stuff<TD align="right>Other stuff<TD>things<TD>more things ``` I'm using the below as my regex: ``` Regex.Split(tempS, @"\<TD[.\s]*?\>"); ``` The records return as below: ``` "" "stuff<TD align="right">More stuff<TD align="right>Other stuff" "things" "more things" ``` Why is it not splitting that first full result (the one starting with "stuff")? How can I adjust the regex to split on all instances of the TD tag with or without parameters?
