@Ehsan Sajjad, Isn't there any other way to do that? – ShaileshDev Mar 14 '17 at 13:25

What about parsing the text as XML? – hbulens Mar 14 '17 at 13:28

@hbulens , I've complete file of html including inline css, script tags etc. So it'll be a bit difficult to do that. – ShaileshDev Mar 14 '17 at 13:31

What have you already tried? Be aware that you've given a very simple question so far with minimal detail and no indication of what you've attempted - at this stage, a simple substring function would be a full and complete answer to your question, yet be absolutely useless. – Adrian Wragg Mar 14 '17 at 13:48

@AdrianWragg , I don't want to use string function. And I've got solution. – ShaileshDev Mar 14 '17 at 13:56

@Er.ShaileshS.Bankar My point was that your question was very vague, and gave no indication of how complex the HTML could be. – Adrian Wragg Mar 14 '17 at 15:44

@EhsanSajjad - what a pointless response. Flagged as non-constructive. – Mar 14 '17 at 16:14

Sorry about that, i missed that it's asp.net mvc tagged – Ehsan Sajjad Mar 14 '17 at 16:24

@AdrianWragg , I don't think that you have something to do with the html complexity. I think it's pointless to ask about it as Complexity of html is not a factor. – ShaileshDev Mar 16 '17 at 06:59

I've got solution and without using HtmlAgilityPack and string function.I've used Regex. It's as follows-
string html = "<body>Text to read </body>";
RegexOptions options = RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.Singleline;
Regex regx = new Regex("<body>(?<theBody>.*)</body>", options);
Match match = regx.Match(html);
if (match.Success)
{
string theBody = match.Groups["theBody"].Value;
//Here I'm getting all the data present in body tag
}
