Getting Data from HTML Web Page Problem

Hi all,

I'm just learning C# at the moment and I'm playing with extracting data from webpages using Regex.

Im having problems getting data out of an unordered list. This is the HTML:

Ad ref 1069691339

Posted 13 hours ago

Posting ads since June 2014

I'm trying to get the data that says "posted 13 hours ago" but I cant get it to work. (I'll post my attempt below)

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Many Thanks and Kind Regards,

James Webb

public void GetDateAdded()

{

string UserURL = textBox1.Text;

WebClient MyWebClient = new WebClient();

String HTMLString = MyWebClient.DownloadString(UserURL);

MatchCollection MatchedDates = Regex.Matches(HTMLString, "", RegexOptions.Singleline);

}
