Hello all,
I'
m trying to parse some returned html to look for currently playing movies. The pattern I'
m trying to match looks like:
<span dir=ltr>Clash of the Titans</span>
Of which there are several in the returned html. (the html is huge, I've posted a sample at the bottom)
I'
m trying get an array of the movie titles with the following command:
titles = listings_html.split(/(<span dir=ltr>).*(<\/span>)/)
But I'
m not getting the results I'
m expecting. Can anyone see a problem with my approach or regex?
Returned html (I believe the 'markdown'formating will render the some of the html, but this is just an example):
