Hi all,

I've got some HTML text in the form of a String. From this I want to
collect all the names, types and values.

e.g. <input type="checkbox" name="homepage" value="Y">

There will be many more of these in one string with the possibility of
more that one type (e.g. checkbox and textfield).

I know how to do this the long-winded way (using String/StringBuffer
methods), but I'm sure there is a neater way using the regex package or
StringTokenizer or the like?

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

Cheers
