That’s XML. XML is a bad idea to parse via regular expression. The reason for this is because these XML snippets are semantically identical:<\/p>\n

<ul type=\"disc\">\n  <li\n      class=\"MsoNormal\"\n      style=\"line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; color: black; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto\">\n    <span style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'\">\n      <font size=\"3\">\n        <font face=\"Calibri\">Highlight the items you want to recover.<\/font>\n      <\/font>\n    <\/span>\n  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
And:<\/p>\n
<ul\ntype=\"disc\"\n><li\nclass=\"MsoNormal\"\nstyle=\"line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; color: black; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto\"\n><span\nstyle=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'\"\n><font\nsize=\"3\"\n><font\nface=\"Calibri\"\n>Highlight the items you want to recover.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
And:<\/p>\n
<ul type=\"disc\"><li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; color: black; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto\"><span style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'\"><font size=\"3\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Highlight the items you want to recover.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
So please – use a parser. Since you’ve tagged perl<\/code> I’m going to include a perl solution:<\/p>\n
use strict;\nuse warnings;\nuse XML::Twig;\n\nXML::Twig->new(\n    twig_handlers => {\n        'span' => sub { print $_ ->att('style'), \"\\n\" }\n    }\n)->parsefile ( 'your_file.xml' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This will print – on a new line – the style<\/code> attribute from your span<\/code> elements. Once you’ve extracted this, you can turn it into key-values via splitting on ;<\/code> and using :<\/code> as a key-value separator. <\/p>\n
E.g.:<\/p>\n
my $style =  $_ ->att('style'); \nmy %styles = map { split ( ': ', $_, 2 ) } split ( '; ', $style);\nprint Dumper \\%styles; \n<\/code><\/pre>\n
But exactly what you do is as much a question of what you’re trying to accomplish. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
