I am having problems trying to use the regular expression that I used in JavaScript. On a web page, you may have:

<b>Renewal Date:</b> 03 May 2010</td>

I just want to be able to pull out the 03 May 2010, remembering that a webpage has more than just the above content. The way I currently perform this using JavaScript is:

DateStr = /<b>Renewal Date:<\/b>(.+?)<\/td>/.exec(returnedHTMLPage);

I tried to follow some tutorials on java.util.regex.Pattern and java.util.regex.Matcher with no luck. I can't seem to be able to translate (.+?) into something they can understand??

thanks,
