Name
MatchAttribute
Synopsis
.NET allows you to create screen-scraping web services that search the HTML
content on a web page by using a regular expression. To create a pattern matching
web service, you need to create a WSDL document with
<match
> elements.
These match elements specify the regular expression to use when parsing the contents
of the page and how many matches should be returned. When the client builds the proxy
class for a pattern-matching web service, it will include a MatchAttribute
that describes the match elements you added to the WSDL document.
The Pattern
property
specfies the regular expression pattern to use when searching the web page. IgnoreCase
specifies whether the regular expression should be run in case-sensitive mode (the default). MaxRepeats
specifies the maximum number of matches that will be returned (-1, the default, indicates all).
Finally, Group
specifies a
grouping of related matches, while Capture
specifies the index of a match within a group.
