Regular Expressions?

[Mr.Mo]

Hi everyone;

I'm making a server and I want the data recieved in commands like this;

"<1>data</1>"

In Ruby I can take the Data like this;

if cmd == /<1>(.*)</1>/

$1 would be the variable holding the data.

Basily I want the strings between the tags.

How would I do this in VB.net?

1) isnt this what XML is for?

2) Take a look at the System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace. here's a ton of pointers:

2.1) I wouldnt recommend <1>(.*)</1> as a match pattern unless <1> occurs only once per document. That pattern will rip hello</1><1>world out of <1>hello</1><1>world</1>
