HTMLViewer and Regex

General
1

I’ve been using HTMLViewer to get the source and then regex to get the elements. This works well except for when the source has spaces and line feeds. Is there a good way to remove the blank lines and trim the spaces off of the end so it’s easier for me to use regex to get the elements. This is a Windows app. Below is my code to populate a textarea(txtSource.Text). Below that is what the source looks like with the blank lines and spaces. It’s difficult to get the "div class=“friend-name” when the innertext is spaced out over the next 4 lines. Any help would be great, thanks.

–CODE
txtSource.Text = “”
dim b as ChromiumBrowserMBS = HTMLViewer1.ChromiumBrowserMBS
if b<>Nil then
dim m as ChromiumFrameMBS = b.mainFrame
if m<>Nil then
dim t as string = m.Source
txtSource.Text = t
end if
end if

    ---HTML

    <td class="runner-name-column">
      <div class="owner-name">Joe Shmo</div>
      
        <div class="runner-name">Name of Person</div>
      
      <div class="friend-name">
        
          B,
        
        
          M,
        
        
          2015,
        
        Test Data
      </div>
    </td>

Off the top of my head:

t = t.ReplaceLineEndings( &uA )
var lines() as string = t.Split( &uA )
for index as integer = lines.LastIndex downto 0
  var thisLine as string = lines( index ).Trim
  if thisLine = "" then
    lines.RemoveAt( index )
  else
    lines( index ) = thisLine
  end if
next

t = String.FromArray( lines, &uA )

Thanks Kem, it worked great!
