Hello i'm having a script but when i try to catch info that i need i cant this is the part of html code that i would like to get:

<div class="pretty-container " >
2100.0
  </div>

So on my socket y try to do this to get the 2100.0(2100.0 it is a variable number):

on *:sockread:foo: {
 var %read
 sockread %read
 if ($regex(%read,<div class="pretty-container " >(.*)<\/div>)) {
    echo -s price founded: $regml(1)

    sockclose $sockname
 }
}

but this doesn't work i believe it is because the number and are in another line. con some one helpme to solve this please?

thanks in advace,

Not sure what that language is, but if it supports inline modifiers, you could try `(?s)` at the beginning of the expression. Otherwise, just replace the dot with `(?:.|\n|\r)`. On another note, you should be using a [non-greedy expression](http://stackoverflow.com/q/3075130), to sum it up, your expression might look like `
((?:.|\n|\r)*?)<\/div>`. For further optimisations, you might try to add `\s*` or `\s+` to match certain white-space dynamically. — HamZa, Nov 24 '13 at 09:53

The sockread command you use only reads one line at a time. Seeing as the data you're looking for is spread over multiple lines, your regular expression will never find a match.

A solution to this would be simply checking whether the current line contains <div class="pretty-container " >, and if so, store the data of the next line in another variable:

  var %read, %number
  sockread %read
  if (<div class="pretty-container " > isin %read) {
    sockread %number
    echo -s Number: %number
    sockclose $sockname
  }

Hey @Patrikdev thank you very much for your answer finally i found the solution thanks to you!! — user3026436, Nov 24 '13 at 14:12
