Retrieve tag A from html

[Matteo Migliore]

Hi.

I need a regular expression to extract all tag A from HTML
code. I need the href and text as two disting objects.

Suggestions?

Thx! ;-)

Why do you want to use regular expressions to parse HTML when there are
APIs for that like SgmlReader

Thanks! I see SqmlReader but for my problem is too much
and I prefer to use .NET classes and RegEx.

I downloaded the project but i don't like it very much :-).

Thx! ;-)

Hi,

All you have to do is get the text from "<a" and up to "</a>"

Which would come down to something like this:

<a[^>]+href\s*=\s*"(?<href>[^"]+)"[^>]*>(?<text>(?:(?!</a).)*)

It would save the href to a group named href and the text to a group named
text.
