Regex rloginName = new Regex(@" <tr><td dir='rtl'><h1>(.*?)</h1><br /></td></tr> <!--.............. Titel der Referat ..............-->");

Match mloginName = rloginName.Match(source);
if (mloginName.Success)
{

}

<tr><td dir='rtl'><h1>xxx:xxx:xxxx:[email protected]</h1><br /></td></tr> <!--.............. Titel der Referat ..............-->     
          <tr><td dir='rtl' style='text-align: justify'>

xxx:xxx:xxxx:[email protected]

Please provide a test case which you think should match but doesn't. — Jon Skeet

Also, regex isn't ideal for getting info from HTML/XML formats. Perhaps you'd be better off with a parser? — patjbs

It's the tiny whitespace at the start of your Regex pattern. If you remove it, you can get what you want using mloginName.Groups[1] .

So is there no whitespace/new lines in the web page?
