I am stuck. I am using regex which is completely new to me and i am trying to do the patterns to go through html code but i can't figure out how to make a pattern or add to the one i have that will delete or skip over any null words or & words this is what i have right now Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(?<=\\>)(?=\\null)[^<]+");
What do you mean "skip over"? Could you give some example in- and output?
sure
input =<strong><font size="2" color="#000080">July13 2007 9:00 PM</font></strong>
</td>output = nullAug 28 2007 9:00 PMnullnullnullTotal Patent Releasenullnull
i cut out a lot of the input though... html code has lots of tags lol o and i just realise in my original compile code its "(?<=\\>)[^<]+" doesn't have the null in it

Ok, that's the example input. Where's the example output?

Do you know what that pattern does?
Also, have you considered using a html parser?
output = null Aug 28 2007 9:00 PMnullnullnull
Total Patent Releasenullnull
right under the input and i have never used html stuff or regex before so i really have no clue what it does kinda of trial and error and help lol
In what way is
<strong><font size="2" color="#000080">July13 2007 9:00 PM</font></strong>
</td>related to
nullAug 28 2007 9:00 PMnullnullnullTotal Patent Releasenullnull
?
How did July get changed to August? Where did Total Patent come from?
ok sorry i took the wrong index number so they don't match up.. the dates should be the same and the total patent is in the line i am matching but its WAY out there and i didn't want to copy paste the whole html line

String in = "<strong><font size=\"2\" color=\"#000080\">July13 2007 9:00 PM</font></strong>
</td>";String out = in.replaceAll("\\<[^>]*\\>", "");
System.out.println(in+"\n\n"+out);
