Best way to extract from HTMl

  Nope it doesnt work, it seems it only takes the first character of the string and uses that as the splitter

  try this:

  string theString = "a <br/> b <br/> c <br/>";

  string theSplitChars = "<br/>";

  string theArray[] = theString.Split(theSplitChars.ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

   

  does this work for you

  Trying it, but you forgot to make the string an array

  string[] theItems = theTags.Split("<br/>");
  
  I tried that before posting. Didn't work. You can't input a string as an argument, only a character array. So you would probably say, add ToCharArray() but I tried that and it doesnt work, it seems to have only used the array[0] for the splitting...
  
  Regex is what I considered doing, but I've almost never done regex before, and I need some help with how to implement the regex...

  Regex would be one way of doing it but its expensive but ideal for these type of problems.

  Alternatively you could do a string.split on the <br/> tags, so any values between the br tags are in the string array:

  string[] theItems = theTags.Split("<br/>");

  theItems would (should) contains:

  a

  b

  c

  d

  e

  but of course will consume more memory depending on how many items there are

  There are other ways also but these are the most common used
