    parsing html using regular expressions

    Hi,

    I need to parse some html that contains the comments: <!-- Start Display
    ---> and <!-- End Display ---> . I need to capture all the HTML between
    these comments. I started with: r = New Regex("Start Display --->(.*)<!--
    End Display --->") but it didn't seem to match anything. I also tried using
    the Substring function in the string library but it didn't match the first
    comment for some reason ie strTemp.IndexOf ("<!-- Start Display --->")
    always returned -1 (and I double checked that the text actually existed in
    the html).

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    I also need to remove all input buttons on the page. Is there an easy way
    to do this?

    Thanks in advance for your help
