Hello everyone,

I am trying to get latest news for a blog. Data comes from a website as a string something like this;

HTML

<li> some text some tag something about the news </li>
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
<li> some other text some other tag something about the other news </li>

I need to split them as item.

ie. one

news item. So that I can put them in a foreach loop then create my own css.

İs there a way to split ? startWith this and EndWith this?

It is coming as item i.e. <li> then why you want to split it?

Solution 1

You could use a regex:

(?<=\<li\>).*?(?=\</li\>)

Solution 2

C#

var result = (new Regex(@"<li>(.*?)<li>")).Matches(str).Cast<Match>()
               .Select(m => m.Value)    
               .ToArray()
	           .Select(x => x.Replace("<li>", "").Replace("</li>", ""));

it returns the contents of <li><li> as a string collection.
if you want to keep the <li><li> just delete the last select line
