Grab HTML code stored in Powershell array to retrieve certain string

Question

<div class="primary-title-and-description">
    <h1>
        Title Here
    </h1>

    <p>
        Paragraph Here
    </p>
</div>

Hi

I am trying to get the values within the <h1></h1> only from the <div class="primary-title-and-description">. How do I go about doing that?

Above is just a snippet of code which I use the webClient.DownloadString($URL) to get the above. What powershell command can get me only the output as below? Title Here

use function like $> Get-Title < put here webpage link >

This will get source-code of webpage and using regex cut everything outside < h1> and < /h1>

Function Get-Title { 
    param([string] $url)
		
    $webClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient 
    $data = $webClient.downloadstring($url) 
    $title = [regex] '(?<=<h1>)([\S\s]*?)(?=</h1>)' 
    write-Host $title.Match($data).value.trim() 
}

Good Luck
