Please consider using HtmlAgilityPack ([StackOverflow how-to](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/846994/how-to-use-html-agility-pack) ) instead of inventing your own solutions. – Alexei Levenkov Feb 18 '13 at 16:34

Because you are parsing HTML (a context-free language), you should not use regular expressions. For details, see this post.
Fortunately, .NET has a great library available for parsing HTML called the HTML Agility Pack

HTML Agility Pack is great! Also CsQuery looks promising https://github.com/jamietre/CsQuery – Giorgio Minardi Feb 18 '13 at 16:37
