Hi,

I am trying to get specfic information from a webpage which i have managed to get into a string, i now want to extract the information needed in the string, can anyone please help.

My string current equals: 

E:\test.txt:471:    [tr][th]Manager:  [/th]Joe Smith                                 [/td][/tr]

I have replaced the formatting with square brackets as it messed up this post.

What I want is the name that comes after the [/th] and nothing before or after that, if it helps the start character will always be the same number.

Basically what I want to end up with is

Joe Smith

Thanks

Brilliant, thanks, I had read about regex but couldnt work out the formatting.

I am still left with the trailing spaces and then [/td][/tr] after the name, how can i get rid of these ?

Heard your name on the PowerScripting Podcast, good work.

Any ideas on the trailing spaces and [/td][/tr] ?

Thanks

Can you post a sample string? You didn't mention those in your post.

In my first post

My string current equals: 

E:\test.txt:471:    [tr][th]Manager:  [/th]Joe Smith                                 [/td][/tr]

Sorry should have mentioned, the reason Im doing this is to get the name, the name Joe Smith was just an example and will change in each of the strings.

Is there anyway of altering my new string after the regex you showed me to create a new string where regex gets only the fisrt two words ?

Thanks for your help.

That worked great, thanks very much for your help and thanks for the explanation, that really helped.
