RegEx: Get Values from HTML Attribute Tags
-
I need to get the values from below following html snippet. So far I came up with this regex which helps me trim it down to the values I needed, but to automate this I need to join 2 regex statements to get the result "18" which is where I am stuck at. Or Please suggest a better method for me get the values. I am using WebHarvey scraping tool. The program is based on .net but it doesn't support inserting .net code so I need only regex command. First Regex Statement
(?s)(?<=attribute bathroom).+?(?=\/span)Result:" title="Bathrooms" style=" ">
18<Second Regex Statement
(?s)(?<=).+?(?=<)Result: 18 HTML Snippet* xxx1 * Factory * 18 * 18 * 5,010m**2** | 9,270m**2** -

You'll end up with an extremely fragile solution, where even the slightest change to the source document will cause it to break. Use a proper HTML parsing library instead - for example, AngleSharp[^].

In my question I have mentioned "
I am using WebHarvey scraping tool. The program is based on .net but it doesn't support inserting .net code so I need only regex command.
" I cannot use any solution except using regex in this tool. When 2 of my regex statements are bringing the result I wanted then I am pretty sure using regex can get the solution needed but due to lack of knowledge I am stuck here. Parsing HTML with regex is not best practice but I am willing to take the risk. Suggest a solution please.

He was saying instead of using WebHarvery, use AngleSharp instead.
