How can I extract this text from an HTML page in C#?

Question

Here is my code:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("http://vk.com/video219171498_166049761");
string Vk_video_resText = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
txt.Text = "" + Vk_video_resText + "";

How can I take

http:\\\/\\\/cs513404v4.vk.me\\\/u3692175\\\/videos\\\/b113808aad.360.mp4\

from the HTML page?

Are you trying to get that single url or any random url in the html response? If it's the second http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1819534/get-url-from-html-code-using-a-regular-expression — Gonzix, Aug 18 '13 at 21:57
Is there a video in the page you're trying to extract? If so, do you have sample markup? — Mister Epic, Aug 18 '13 at 21:57

If I understand correctly, all you want to do is strip away all the HTML tags so you're only left with the text.

A lighter weight solution over htmlagilitypack is the code presented in the article Quick and Easy Method to Remove Html Tags.

If the link is not part of a tag, then that's exactly what you'll get. – Jonathan Wood Aug 18 '13 at 18:52
