regular expression & XML
Hi all,
I have a simple XML to parse (I dont need XML parser just fir such thing). The XML is as below
<element name="uuid">
<value>1.0.199999102</value>
</element>
I need to read the value, which is 1.0.199999102. Could anyone give me the regular expression code to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Thanks, but one of my concerns is; if < value> xxxx< /value > is read then that statement will fail, i guess...
besides uuid is important as well, first i would like conform that then read the value;
1- check if name='uuid'
2- if yes, read the value
but there might be spaces, so I want to take this into consideration...Any help?:)

Yes, but you did not specify that as a possibility. Try -
"<\\s*value\\s*>\\s*([^>]*)\\s*<\\s*/\\s*value\\s*>"

So how would I know how to do that? I can show how to extract it but only you can test it.

Read the value regardless but only use if valid.

Write down a better specification and then I may be able to help?
