Removing an element from the content of a string value which is HTML code

Farhad Eft

Hi, I have a string variable which the value is html code. I like to check to see if certain word (in this case EEST) exist in the first

element as you can see in the sample. Then I like to remove that element and its content from the string.

Some text here, 26 APRIL 2017 AT 9:00 AM EEST. some other content here as well>

much other elements here as well

then the output becomes:

much other elements here as well

I was wondering, how I can do such task. Thank you.

Try a regex:

public static Regex regex = new Regex(
"\\<p\\sclass=\"myclass\"\\>.*?\\sEEST.*?\\>\\</p\\>",
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
| RegexOptions.CultureInvariant
| RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace
| RegexOptions.Compiled
);

Then just use Replace:

string result = regex.Replace(inputText,"");
