Hello ,
I need to extract some information from html data which is in string format.
mystr =
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div class="header">
MyProperty
</div>
<div class="content">
DefinedValue
</div>
<div class="header">
MyProp
</div>
<div class="content">
MyValueXYZ
</div>
<div class="header">
Get My result
</div>
<div class="content">
Mobile
</div>
</body>
</html>
Requirements :
  1. I should be able to access Content value upon giving header value as input..
  2. For example... If my header input is "My Property " , then regular expression should return "DefinedValue"
If my header input is "MyProp" , then regular expression should return corresponding content "MyvalueXYZ"
Can anyone help me out in developing the regular expression.????

LookFor = 'Myprop';
pattern = ['(?<=', LookFor, '.*?content">\s*)[^<]*' ];
extracted_content = regexp(mystr, pattern, 'match');
