Regex parse Html how to repeat code block

Question

I'm trying to extra food entries from the html below, when I use the regex it seems to grab only the first food entry for each section, I was wondering how I can repeat the logic to grab all the rows within a section? Also how would I make the points part optional sometimes it's not available for each row?

Any help would be appreciated

Output:

<span class="sectiontitle">Medium Pan Pizza - 1 slice / 1/8th pizza</span><br>\r\n12" Medium Pan Pizza: Cheese\r\n    (270 cal/13 g fat/1 g fiber/27 g carbs) <span class="blackpts">  6.5</span><br>   <span class="sectiontitle">Medium Pan Pizza - 1 slice / 1/8th pizza</span><br>\r\n12" Medium Pan Pizza: Cheese\r\n    (270 cal/13 g fat/1 g fiber/27 g carbs) <span class="blackpts">  6.5</span><br>   Medium Pan Pizza - 1 slice / 1/8th pizza</span><br> 12" Medium Pan Pizza: Cheese    (270 cal/13 g fat/1 g fiber/27 g carbs) <span class="blackpts">  6.5</span><br>

Regex:

To clarify, several times a day people ask how to parse html using regular expressions. This is not a job for regex. You should use an xml parser. — michaelmichael, Oct 31 '11 at 15:39
What tool/language are you using to try and match with? Some languages like PHP have things like `preg_match_all()` that do this automagically. — Mr. Llama, Oct 31 '11 at 17:01
I'm using C#, I'm going to try using the HTML Agility pack, it's just this html above doesn't have a good structure most of it is text nodes so if I wanna grab the cal, the fat, the fiber etc etc I'm guessing I could use regex for that part which I have already figured out. My question is more about how to get blocks at a time Block1 TEXT TEXT TEXT Block1 TEXT TEXT Basically I want get the block with corresponding span with it's TEXT elements — DotnetShadow, Nov 01 '11 at 12:08
