Problem with parsing on string!

[Lanibox]

Hey, I got problem with parsing text with regex.

    Private Function Get_HTMLTag(ByVal TagName As String, ByVal HTML As String) As List(Of String)
        Dim lMatch As New List(Of String) 'Get the results in a List of strings

        'RegexOptions.IgnoreCase allows case mismatch e.g. if TagName="title" results can include "title", "Title", "TITLE" etc.
        'RegexOptions.Singleline allows .* to see past CarriageReturn characters 
        Dim Tag As New Regex("(?<=" & TagName & ">).*(?=<\/" & "a></td></tr></table" & ">)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase Or RegexOptions.Singleline)
        For Each rMatch As Match In Tag.Matches(HTML)
            lMatch.Add(rMatch.Value)
        Next

        Return lMatch
    End Function 

        Dim webClient As New WebClient
        Dim strings As String

        strings = webClient.DownloadString("http://google.com/trends")
        Dim Tags As List(Of String) = Get_HTMLTag("sa=X", strings)
        webClient.Dispose()
        'You can loop through the list to view all of the results
        For Each Tag As String In Tags
            MsgBox(Tag)
        Next 

Im trying to parse google.com/trends to one list, but Im getting this:

first hot search + source beetween them + last hot search.

But I want all hot searches to one list without source beetween them.

Hi Lanibox,

Remove RegexOptions.SingleLine.

Dim Tag As New Regex("(?<=" & TagName & ">).*(?=<\/" & "a></td></tr></table" & ">)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)

Or you could shorten it to:

Dim Tag As New Regex("(?<=<(a).*sa=X>).*(?=<\/\1>)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)

Thanks! :P Working as It should be.

Got second problem =S

I cant get Hot Topics on google.com/trends with this same beacause this is how it looks like on source code:

<td><a href='#' id=hot_topic_1></a></td>

And this is Hot Search which I can get with this.

 <td><a href=/trends/hottrends?q=kate+upton&date=2011-4-5&sa=X>kate upton</a></td></tr></table>

So... Is there other way to get Hot Topics on google.com/trends?
