[Almora]

    Dim st As String = $"

                          <div class="col-9 ml-auto text-right p-0">
                                  <span id="allPopulation" class=" allPopulation number-lg">32.519</span>
                            </div>
 
                       "$
    Dim parser As MiniHtmlParser
    parser.Initialize
    Dim root As HtmlNode = parser.Parse(st)
    Dim listgroup As HtmlNode = parser.FindNode(root, "div", parser.CreateHtmlAttribute("class", "col-9 ml-auto text-right p-0"))
    If listgroup.IsInitialized Then
        Dim span1 As HtmlNode = parser.FindNode(listgroup, "span", Null)
        
        Log(parser.GetAttributeValue(span1, "class", ""))
 
    End If

or

    Dim text As String = $"
                          <div class="col-9 ml-auto text-right p-0">
                                  <span id="allPopulation" class=" allPopulation number-lg">32.519</span>
                            </div>
 
                       "$
    Log(ReadValueSpan(text))

Public Sub ReadValueSpan(Html As String) As String
    Dim Result As String, Pattern As String = $"<\s*span[^>]*>(.*?)<\s*\/\s*span>"$
    Dim Matcher As Matcher = Regex.Matcher(Pattern, Html)
    If Matcher.Find Then Result = Matcher.Group(1)
    Return Result
End Sub

I have seen that you have asked these questions before and since I am currently making an app that uses Regex a lot, I leave you the solution to your questions.

Just curious - what is wrong with my solution in #2?

Sorry, your solution is fine.

I just saw that it may be a more direct solution than MiniHtmlParser, which also uses regular expressions. and that this question had already been asked in another post.

To provide a solution to both posts, I wrote that routine, which can guide you in using regular expressions in other solutions along with MiniHtmlParser.
