CSS Parser Wanted

[Guest]

I need a way to extract css class names from a css file. Therefore I’m
looking for a CSS Parser, preferably freeware and written in C#.

Anybody know of such one?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm not too good at using regex in c#. Could you provide a snippet of sample
code?

Can't seem to get it to work...



static void Main(string[] args){
string css = @"
..class1{
colorink;
}

..class2{
color:blue;
}";

string patt =
@"\.[-]?[_a-zA-Z][_a-zA-Z0-9-]*|[^\0-\177]*\\[0-9a-f]{1,6}(\r\n[
\n\r\t\f])?|\\[^\n\r\f0-9a-f]*";
string[] arr = Regex.Split(css, patt);
}

The code should have been:

string css = @"
..class1{
colorink;
}
..class2{
color:blue;
}";
string patt =
@"\.[-]?[_a-zA-Z][_a-zA-Z0-9-]*|[^\0-\177]*\\[0-9a-f]{1,6}(\r\n[
\n\r\t\f])?|\\[^\n\r\f0-9a-f]*";
MatchCollection arr = Regex.Matches(css, patt);
}
