Re: Getting sub value from match

You need to put into () the groups that you wish to
capture:
<idssequence="1">(d)</id>

or maybe:
<idssequence="1">(d\)</id>


I recommend you to read this tutorial for regular
expressions in Java
(even if you are not using java, regex are quite standard)
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essent
