VB.NET extracting text inbetween HTML characters

Question

So I'm creating an application which will give you stats on you spotify account etc, after successfully logging in I'm trying to determin your Subscription status from the https://spotify.com/account/subscription/ page.

Dim Info As Match = Regex.Match(html, "<h3 class=""product-name"">(\d+)</h3>")
Label3.Text = "Account Type: " + Info.Groups(1).Value

When writing the outcome of Info.Groups(1).Value to the console I get a blank, Any Ideas on how to get the value between the <h3></h3>'s?

Don't use Regex for parsing HTML. Instead, use an HTML parser like [Html Agility Pack](http://html-agility-pack.net/). — 41686d6564 stands w. Palestine, Mar 18 '18 at 13:48
@AhmedAbdelhameed no need to go that far for simple use. Regex work just fine in that case. — Johnny Prescott, Mar 18 '18 at 18:27

This will give you the value between the <h3></h3>

Dim Info As Match = Regex.Match(html, "<h3.*>(.*)<\/h3>")
Label3.Text = "Account Type: " + Info.Groups(1).Value
