here is a regular expression that would match any tag without attribute and starting with a alphabet!
<[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*>
and this reg exp would match anytag (ofcource without attribute) <[A-Za-z0-9]*>
<[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*>
and this reg exp would match anytag (ofcource without attribute) <[A-Za-z0-9]*>
It can be done either using some string manipulation or potentially complex regular expressions (depending on how complex it needs to be -i.e. do you need to extract a value from a node nested so many levels down in the document), but is there a reason why you can't load it into an XMLDocument object?
It would save you reinventing the wheel.
