Answer 1

This C# regex will find all title values:

(?<=\btitle=")[^"]*

The C# code is like this:

Regex regex = new Regex(@"(?<=\btitle="")[^""]*");
Match match = regex.Match(input);
string title = match.Value;

The regex uses positive lookbehind to find the position where the title value starts. It then matches everything up to the ending double quote.
