title: Extracting data from HTML files using regular expressions
body: <p>I am trying to extract the specific data using regular expression but i couldn't be able to achieve what i desire, for example,</p>
  
  <p>in this page</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><a href="http://mnemonicdictionary.com/wordlist/GREwordlist/startingwith/A" rel="nofollow">http://mnemonicdictionary.com/wordlist/GREwordlist/startingwith/A</a></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have to keep only the data which is between,</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="row-fluid"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i class="icon-user"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>SO i copied the HTML code in Notepad++ enabled Regular expression in replace, and tried replacing everything that matches,</p>
  
  <pre><code>.*&lt;div class="row-fluid"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to delete everything before <code>&lt;div class="row-fluid"&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>but it is not working at all.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone knows why ?</p>
  
  <p>P.S: I am not using any programming language i just need to perform this on an html code using Notepad++, not on an actual HTML file.</p>
