Hi folks,

I am retrieving a website for a site using httpWebRequest. What I want to
do with the retrieved webpage is list all the hyperlinks in the page. If I
do a simple regex search for <a then I get links that are commented out in
code and I don't want that. I want links that are actually active. This is
to do with reciprocal link check.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Hi, I think you can try to clean the text before you get the links.
For example:

html_code = Regex.Replace(html_code, "", "");

This will replace all commented code by an empty string and then you
can get the links.

Hello Enigma,

Have a look at the HTML Agility pack. It allows you to treat the HTML as
it were XML.
