It's often better to just use a HTML parser like AngleSharp. It works out to be a lot better for parsing as it's easy to read, maintain and write.

Nah the grasshopper algorithm is far superior.

You can try use functions like this:
Code
Public Function GetBetween(ByVal haystack As String, ByVal needle As String, ByVal needle_two As String) As String
Dim istart As Integer = InStr(haystack, needle)
If istart > 0 Then
Dim istop As Integer = InStr(istart, haystack, needle_two)
If istop > 0 Then
Try
Dim value As String = haystack.Substring(istart + Len(needle) - 1, istop - istart - Len(needle))
Return value
Catch ex As Exception
Return ""
End Try
End If
End If
Return ""
End Function
