Regex problem - dark.team - Oct 27, 2015

I made the following regex to grab the % from a string.

Code 
string s =<tr><td colspan="4"><b>Sort tonerkassett  ~81%</b></td></tr><tr>

Regex expression = new Regex("(?=~).*(?=</b></td><)");
Match result = expression.Match(s);

I want to grab that 81 but the above regex code giving me ~81 how can grab only 81.

Thanks

This happens when you're lazy with the capture tokens! Try this pattern:

Code 
(\d{1,2})%

It doesn't account for decimals though.

I would of done this:

Code 
~(.*?)%

but, Odus' way is better as it shows what you're capturing would be only numbers, whereas I was kinda lazy with mine.
