[RESOLVED] Extract word between "

[ident]

Heya Paul. How have you been. Been a while.

Thanks for the example. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the "words" in RichTextbox2. (Now I think of it... perhaps it would be even better when reading it into a stream. (import them directly from the html-file))

Can you explain this part of the code?

Dim words() As String = rx.Matches(RichTextBox1.Text).Cast(Of Match).Select(Function(m) m.Groups(1).Value).ToArray
Stop

Thanks in advance.

Obviously words() as an array of strings. The line is a lambda expression. rx.matches is a matchcollection of regular expressions. We need to implicit cast each item in the matchcollection and select it. The regex expression (.+?) Using the ungreedy quantifier +? matches as little as possible. The expression matches different groups. If you changed 1 to 0 the group captured would not be what you wanted.
