if abcdefg is always the same, you can just use:<br />
<br />
string removed = data.Replace(&quot;&lt;!-- Generated by abcdefg --&gt;&quot;, String.Empty);
</div>


if abcdefg is always the same, you can just use:

string removed = data.Replace("", String.Empty);

<div>
Without regex:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dim myString As String = &quot;&lt;!-- Generated by abcdefg --&gt;&lt;p&gt;sdsdsd&lt;/p&gt;&quot;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; myString = myString.Substring(myStrin<wbr />g.IndexOf(<wbr />&quot;--&gt;&quot;) + 3)
</div>


Without regex:

        Dim myString As String = "<p>sdsdsd</p>"
        myString = myString.Substring(myString.IndexOf("-->") + 3)

No. It's always changing.<br />
And I want a regular expression solution.

you might want to limit that a bit, if you only have &quot;A-Z&quot; in the list with no spaces<br />
<br />
data = Regex.Replace(data, @&quot;^&lt;!-- Generated by \w* --&gt;&quot;, String.Empty);
</div>

I need to remove the first comment that is &lt;!-- Generated by abcdefg --&gt; and leave the rest intact.<br />
Hopefully, I need to use regex.

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
