Use a filter.

I don't think a real regex will work. ASP is a turing complete language, so a
regular expression is not powerful enough to handle all real-world cases. If you
used Perl, you could do it with a Perl regex (they are actually not really
regexes any more since they are much more powerful). Else make a full parser in
whatever language you're more comfortable in.

But in reality, whatever you decide to do will probably not handle the edge
cases nearly as well as the actual ASP server. Why do you want to use the FS
method instead of spidering?
