Try this: Code: $regex(<option value="SIT">Slovenia $+ $chr(44) Tolar (SIT)</option>,<option value="([a-zA-Z]+)"\w?>(.+?)</option>) I changed \w+ to .+? since Slovenia, Tolar (SIT) doesn't just consist of word characters but also a comma, parentheses and spaces. Also, [\w] can be \w* but I added the ? to make it non-greedy, so it doesn't capture as much text as possible
