Hi first of all extract all css classes and store it an array or a temp file... [to extract from a bunch of files store all filepaths in a array and read them one by one using a for loop and store css classes] After that extract all css classes which are used in files and store them in a array.... [same as css file extraction] following code will help you to extract class name after cssClass keyword as you specified StreamReader x = new StreamReader(xyz.aspx); int count=0; String[] cssclass; while(!x.EndOfStream) { String line = x.ReadLine(); String keyw=cssClass; if(line.IndexOf(keyw)!=-1) { // find the starting possition of css class int start = line.IndexOf(keyw)+keyw.Length; // find the ending position of css class int end=line.IndexOf('.'); cssclass[count++] = line.Substring(start+1 (end - start)-1); } } after that compare both list of classes by comparing arrays.... i think this will help you
