I'm using the regex pattern and matcher classes, but i don't know how to look for what i want.Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(\\something\\);
i need to know what to put in the something to give me everything between <td style='width:140;padding:0in;height:7.5pt'> the "<>" any suggestions would help
Actualy i should be more specific... i am trying to put everything that's in the "<>" into 1 string and anything not in them in another the data sorta looks like this\ </font>July 022007 6:30 </span></strong>

@mark07
are you nolonger happy with the charAt method ? ;o)
do you remember what I said to you yesterday ?!!
look at this code and try to improve the pattern:
private static final String REGEX = ">(\\s*?)(\\w+)(\\s*?)(\\d{2})(\\s*?),(\\s*?)(\\d{4})(\\s*?)<";
public static void Test() {
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(REGEX);
Matcher matcher;
matcher = p.matcher("<span> July 12, 2007 </span>");
if (matcher.find()) {
System.out.println("pattern found:");
System.out.println("start: "+matcher.start());
System.out.println("end:"+matcher.end());
}else{
System.out.println("pattern not found!!");
}
}
Hope That Helps

Ya i do and used it to put each table row into an array like this
[code]\while (front <= stop)
{
front = text.indexOf("<tr>",front);
back = text.indexOf("</tr>", front + 1);
while (front < back)
{
row[index] += text.charAt(front);
front++;
}
index++;
}[\code]
but i figured using the regex class would be a whole lot easier for this next part and ya that helps a lot thanks!
Like this?
String text = "</font>July 02 2007 6:30</span></strong>
</td>";Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(?<=\\>)[^<]+");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
while(matcher.find()) {
System.out.println(matcher.group());
}
sort of but how do i put the date inside a string without the other text im trying to get rid of?

That wouldn't be hard... Improving it, that is. It is hard to try and understand it though!

Well, I print the date somewhere. Have a wild guess how you'd go about assigning it to a String variable.

String s = matcher.group();
