Just Me (50)
The title is a little misguiding, I have the following sample HTML:
1

11
12
13
14

<div class="directions">
<h3>Directions</h3>

    <div class="directLeft" itemprop="recipeInstructions">
        <div id="msgDirections" style="display:none"></div>
            
                <ol>
            
                <li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">example</span></li>
            
                </ol>
            

        <a href="/recipe/easy-mac-n-cheese/kitchenview.aspx">Kitchen-Friendly View</a>

    </div>

    <div id="divRecipeTimesContainer" class="right-aside preptime fl-right">
        <ul id="ulReadyTime">
            <li id="liPrep">
                PREP
                
                
                <span id="prepMinsSpan"><em>2</em> mins</span>
                <time id="timePrep" itemprop="prepTime" datetime="PT2M"></time>
            </li>
            <li id="liCook">
                COOK
                
                
                <span id="cookMinsSpan"><em>13</em> mins</span>
                <time id="timeCook" itemprop="cookTime" datetime="PT13M"></time>
            </li>
            <li id="liTotal" class="no-border">
                READY IN
                
                
                <span id="totalMinsSpan"><em class="emp-orange">15</em> mins</span>
                <time id="timeTotal" itemprop="totalTime" datetime="PT15M"></time>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </div>

    <div class="clearfix ie7break"></div>

</div>

I have the position of the <div class="directions">, but how can I get the HTML in it? There maybe more elements, if I try to code.find("</div>"); I may return the closing tag of a child of the div directions... A sample output I want of the previous input is:
<h3>Directions</h3>

    <div class="directLeft" itemprop="recipeInstructions">
        <div id="msgDirections" style="display:none"></div>
            
                <ol>
            
                <li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">example</span></li>
            
                </ol>
            

        <a href="/recipe/easy-mac-n-cheese/kitchenview.aspx">Kitchen-Friendly View</a>

    </div>

    <div id="divRecipeTimesContainer" class="right-aside preptime fl-right">
        <ul id="ulReadyTime">
            <li id="liPrep">
                PREP
                
                
                <span id="prepMinsSpan"><em>2</em> mins</span>
                <time id="timePrep" itemprop="prepTime" datetime="PT2M"></time>
            </li>
            <li id="liCook">
                COOK
                
                
                <span id="cookMinsSpan"><em>13</em> mins</span>
                <time id="timeCook" itemprop="cookTime" datetime="PT13M"></time>
            </li>
            <li id="liTotal" class="no-border">
                READY IN
                
                
                <span id="totalMinsSpan"><em class="emp-orange">15</em> mins</span>
                <time id="timeTotal" itemprop="totalTime" datetime="PT15M"></time>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </div>

    <div class="clearfix ie7break"></div>

A similar problem. You've got a sequence of opening and closing parenthesis and want to find the matches
Example ()((()(()()))()())

Note that they are 4 opening parenthesis (and so 4 closing parenthesis) between them

@ne555 Ahhh... How dumb of me to miss that! And you've got me thinking!
