If I have the html from webpage loaded into a string. How would I use
regex
to return sections from within that html string?

I want to be able to get the "text" back between two different tags.
Basically I want to scrape some web pages and populate a database.

Does anybody have a snippet of code that could me out get the "text"?

Is it XHTML? If so you can just read it as an XmlDocument.
