[Help]Reoccuring String

Hey in a source code there is a string that shows up three times.

Code:

<li class='hentry row1'>

How can i search for the second

Code:

<li class='hentry row1'>

Btw this is a source code of a webpage.

--
so far i have:

Code:

  Dim ViewRegEx As New Regex("<li class='hentry row1'><a href='/forum/(?<Topic1>(.*))' rel='bookmark' title='View topic'>")
        Topic1 = ViewRegEx.Match(httpContent).Groups("Topic1").ToString

        For Each Topic1 In httpContent
            TextBox1 = vbNewLine & Topic1
        Next

but this code:

For Each Topic1 In httpContent
TextBox1 = vbNewLine & Topic1
Next

doesnt work.

Your regex expression is completely false. Unless you have a firm understanding of regex expressions, don't use them.

If the string is same, why you want to get the second one. Just grab the first one !!

I can't help unless I know that they are the same or are different. In both cases code will be different.

Explain !!

there is 3 repeating hentry row 1 and 2 hentry row 2.

Code:

<li class='hentry row1'><a href='http://peterpanh4x.nintendolegends.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1420-animations/' rel='bookmark' title='View topic'>Animations</a>

Since this isn't changing at all, why would you need to extract it?

the website changes though.
then how would you do it?

Only the link changes, right? Or also the name for instance "Animations"?

I am making a news feeder.
Basically the forum updates the sites when a new topic is up.
So it lists 5 of the newest topics.
And basically i want to make a program to list the 5 topics.

The only problem is.
Finding the other row1s.
