    I know it has been quite some time since this was posted, but I have a question. The code is looking for an EXACT match to the start tag. However, if you have additional info (e.g. <span style=...> or <div class=...> and </span> or </div> you get a parsing error.

    Is there any way to avoid that? I've found some code that parses character by character but we know that is, like 🙁

    I know it's not the answer you wanted but the absolute best way would be to have the app that spawned it to parse it and provide it in a more normal form.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
