Here is a function to extract the first number from string:

Public Function getNum(ByVal str As String)
    Dim s() As String = str.Split(Space(1))
    For Each word As String In s
        If IsNumeric(word) Then
            Return word
        End If
    Next
    Return False
End Function

I am looking for the regex pattern something like this.. but its not working

Dim pattern As String = "<(?<tag>\w*)>[\n\s]*(?<text>.*" & txt2highlight & ".*)[\n\s]*</\k<tag>>"

You never asked for a regex pattern in the first place. In-fact, you responded to my query in the positive when asked to clarify on whether it was from a string.

To my mind, both solutions suggested here so far answer your initial question. If you'd like to open another question about Regex, you indeed are free to do so, however, you will have to mark this question as answered.
