C# Regex. Get value attribute from input tag with specific id

Question

Been struggling with this for awhile. I can't seem to figure out how to get a regex request to only return the value attribute of a particular html tag. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please post sample HTML and explain exactly what you want to extract from it. — Oded

You have a C# and a .net tag on your question, why don't you just read the value on the postback of the page? — Bazzz

Are you trying to parse HTML with Regex? Don't or you will continue to struggle. Use SgmlReader or HTML Agility Pack for this purpose.

RegEx is not a good solution for parsing unstructured (or unknown) HTML.

See this SO post for compelling reasons why this is the case.

I suggest using a parser such as the HTML Agility Pack and querying the parsed document.
