RegEx for a child objects - SBsteven - 11-16-2009

I need to write a regular expression for this:

Code:
<SPAN>Employer Service Rep</SPAN>

This is what I am using, is this correct?

Code:
<SPAN>.*</SPAN>

Thanks,
SBsteven

Nevermind, I got it now....

Here is what I do want to filter on:

Code:
<SPAN>Employer Service Rep</SPAN>

Here is what I DO NOT want:

Code:
<SPAN style="CURSOR: hand; COLOR: blue" onclick="appAdminForm.action.value='click_modify';appAdminForm.attrName.value='nwRSCrole';appAdminForm.submit();">Modify </SPAN>

I was just told to use this RegEx:

Code:
<SPAN>.*

If you use '<SPAN>.*</SPAN>' for string '<SPAN>Employer Service Rep</SPAN> ' this will return True

but for

Code:
<SPAN style="CURSOR: hand; COLOR: blue" onclick="appAdminForm.action.value='click_modify';appAdminForm.attrName.value='nwRSCrole';appAdminForm.submit();">Modify </SPAN> if you use <SPAN>.*,

this will return False
