Extract CSS Style From String in JAVA

Question

I have a string in Java not escaped which contains CSS, JavaScript and HTML.

I need to extract all the CSS from this string, so basically I need to search for everything that start for <style and finish for </style> and everything that start for <link and finish for >

Any suggestions?

I need to retrieve all the CSS because I want inject it in the HEAD tag instead the BODY — Marco C

Yeah like Qtax said, a HTML parser could help you easily find the CSS. A Java HTML parser I've used before which uses jQuery like selectors, which I find convenient, can be found here: jsoup.org — thebreiflabb

The regex might look something like this. String result = searchText.replaceAll("<style>([^<]*)</style>", "$1"); this should change the text to whats inside the tag, just modify it slightly for the tag
