What have you tried so far? What have you researched today? This is too general. — alexmac, Mar 18 '14 at 00:00
Parsing HTML with Regexp is the road to eternal damnation. See [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/1864610) — , Mar 18 '14 at 00:01

Do NOT try parsing HTML with Regex. You might get fairly far, but it's very easy to screw it up and it doesn't work well. It learned this the hard way once. Like others have mentioned in the comments. See:
