You want a regex which will replace the string: "<td style=\"width:X;\">" with "<br>" where X is any number?

Console.WriteLine(Regex.Replace(input, "<td style=\"width:\\d+\\.?\\d*%;\">", "<br>"));

@Tokn I wanted to test some date stuff earlier and typed dotnetfiddle into Google. I assumed it would be created eventually. I was RIGHT! :D

Try this:

  string pattern = "<(.*?)>";
  string replacement = "<br>";
  Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern);
  string result = rgx.Replace(input, replacement);

Or yo could be more specific if you start with this:

string pattern = "<td style=(.*?)>";
