How do I copy just one part of a sentence and put it on a text control?

Question

Alright, so off a website (that I don't own, so I can't modify it), I have this:

<body onload="do_cd();">
<div id="main_container">
<div id="main_content">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span12">
<div class="well">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6">
<p>
<b>

And then all the closing tags.

In that <b> portion , there is text. How do I extract that text in there and set a string with it?

I suggest using the HTML Agility Pack, located here: http://htmlagilitypack.codeplex.com/, alternativly you could also try a regexe. — Rivasa, Sep 23 '12 at 21:30

Could a moderator delete this? I contacted another guy who told me how. — Jon, Sep 23 '12 at 21:49
@chipperyman573: The better option would be to show others how you've done it. You can even accept your own answer. — Tim Schmelter, Sep 23 '12 at 21:51
@TimSchmelter Ok, thanks for the heads up. I'll accept it in 2 days (when it lets me) — Jon, Sep 23 '12 at 21:57

Ok, so I contacted a guy that I know and he told me how to do it for this purpose:

string DownloadFileName = Regex.Match(PageSource, DownloadFileLink + "\">(.*?)</a></li></div></ul>").Groups(1).Value;

I suggest using the HTML Agility Pack. It gets the job done perfectly and is very powerful.
