<![CDATA[HTTP Retriever - Value RegEx works whit accent]]>Hi. I am trying to get points from a web page using HTTP Retriever. Everything works fine until in the RegEx Value I place a word with access. for example:
<tr><td><span>(Cerro Patacón)</span></td><td><span>(.*?)</span></td></tr>
I get "Validation Error - No value match made for point Cerro Patacón.
How can I solved it?

Thanks you in advance..

Thanks you. I used your recommendation and found that the regex value was waiting instead of Cerro Patacón, Cerro Patacún.
I changed that in the regex value and voila. is working.

Regex can certainly match the accent. You can see that here, where I was using the browser developer tools:

So I have to agree with Fox that part of the question is hidden in not having the source text that's being matched. . should match everything but newlines. If there are newlines, you could try picking a character that doesn't appear and using a ([^~]*) or a ((?:.|\r|\n)*)

If you have a copy of the source you're trying to parse from, use regexr.com and work from that to create your RegExp string.
The Cerro Patacón should be part of the text, not a variable. I think there's a lot of detail missing here that you've not made clear.

<tr><td><span>Cerro Patacón</span></td><td><span>(.?)</span></td></tr>

If that's the case:

<tr><td><span>Cerro Patacón<\/span><\/td><td><span>(.?)<\/span><\/td><\/tr>

I try you suggestion
<tr><td><span>\Cerro Patacón\</span></td><td><span>(.*?)</span></td></tr>

Illegal/unsupported escape sequence near index 15 <tr><td><span>\Cerro Patacón</span></td><td><span>(.*?)</span></td></tr> ^

+*?^$.[]{}()|/

So your

<tr><td><span>(Cerro Patacón)</span></td><td><span>(.*?)</span></td></tr>

Should be

<tr><td><span>\(Cerro Patacón\)</span></td><td><span>(.*?)</span></td></tr>
