C# regular expressions, HTML & removal of text between <script> tags

[john.w.blair]

Can someone help me out this this please? How does one remove content
between script tags and the script tags themselves using C# regular
expressions?


Thanks!

What's the name of the CPAN module you are using (to support C# regexp in
Perl)?

One: You do *not* attempt to parse HTML with regexps. Parsing
HTML is a nontrivial task and regular expressions are not adequate.

Two: This is a Perl newgroups. Why would we be able to help you
with C#?

Three: Er, what's the difference between "script tags" and "the script
tags themselves"?

using C# regular
expressions?

You have found the wrong newsgroup.

We do Perl in the Perl newsgroup.


(and regular expressions do not change text anyway, they "match"
or "don't match" strings. Perl has an operator that changes
text and makes use of regular expressions though. What operators
are available to you in C# is a mystery to me. Find a C# newsgroup.
)

(also, using regular expressions on a context-free language such
as HTML is impossible in the general case. You need a Real Parser.
Have you seen the Perl FAQ about removing HTML from a string?
)

Please let us know which problems you have with the answer in the FAQ such
that we can improve it.

Are you sure you are in the right NG?

regular expressions?

As has been pointed out many, many times (did you check google, this NG, or
the FAQ) no sane person would try to parse HTML using regular expressions.
