Problem with Regular Expression

Hu Guys!

I need some help with regular expression. I have to identify in an HTML code the following tag:

<username/>

However, i need to consider also the fact that after "<" there might be some blank characters, after "username" there might be the same situation, same thing for "/". So the situation is the following:

"<" zero or more spaces "username" zero or more spaces "/" zero or more spaces ">"

Now, I do not want the solution, but some hint to get that.

Thanks,

Luca

Maybe something like this:

^[<] \s* [username] \s* [\] \s* $[>]

??

Solved...here the solution

String regex = "&lt;+\\s*+username+\\s*+/+\\s*+&gt;";
