Body
I have a program to parse various file formats with a goal to find localizable strings (GetText pretty much). I'm looking for a regex that would get "TEXT TO TRANSLATE" from within specific opening and closing tag. I had a working regex but the following example broke it, thanks to the IsVisible call. <pre><code><mw:Translate runat="server" Visible='<%# IsVisible() %>'> TEXT TO TRANSLATE </mw:Translate> </code></pre> This is what I have so far but got stuck with it...any help? I have described my wrongly regexxed intentions in //comments... <pre><code>(?s) //multiline flag \<mw\:Translate //opening <mw:Translate> tag (?:(?![^"']+\s*\>)+) //match anything but > preceeded by " or ' //with any whitespace after it (?:["']+\s*)\> //match > preceeded by " or ' with any //whitespace after it \s* //match any whitespace //(for trimming any whitespace around the text) (?<text>.*?) //capturing group for the localizable text \s* //match any whitespace \</mw\:Translate\> //match closing tag </code></pre> The problem I have is probably in the opening tag...I'm trying to match the closing bracket > only when it is preceeded by " or ' with no or any whitespace after that...because otherwise it's either something like %> or it's not a valid ASP.NET EDIT 1: Please read the question before coming to conclusions. This is not HTML but ASP.NET which cannot be possibly parsed well with any HTML parsers. I'm also targeting something very specific. Correction: people seem to agree it can be parsed with HtmlAgility pack but I don't really want to use it, because I don't really like to rely on an external lib for one simple use case. EDIT 2: mw:Translate cannot be nested. It simply won't compile because of how the mw:Translate is programmed. EDIT 3: Clarification of edits. EDIT 4: Self closing mw:translate is not permitted EDIT 5: HTML inside mw:Translate is as valid as any other text on ASP.NET page EDIT 6: answered myself, the regex I'd need may be a bit more complicated (but not because of any relation with HTML), see below

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
