Regular Expressions on Hyperlinks Problem

I am writing a batch program for locating hyperlinks in HTML files. I thought I could use regular expressions to search for "<a HREF.*</a>" but this returns only one match from the beginning of the first hyperlink to the end of the last hyperlink. Is there a switch I am missing to have it return each hyperlink separately. Or is my regular expression wrong? How can I return each hyperlink individually

Thank
Brent

I get the idea of how to create the search patterns. But what I'm having trouble with is how to actually implement regular expressions. I can't seem to find any code that actually USES them. In all the posts I've found on google all anyone talked about was creating the actual search pattern. Could someone show me an actual sub that will use RegEx to check if the word "Test" is in each of the strings in the array tstArray. I'm just...

Hi, I am replaceing a big string using different regular expressions (see some example at the end of the message). The problem is whenever I apply a "replace" it makes a new copy of string and I want to avoid that. My question here is if there is a way to pass either a memory stream or array of "find", "replace" expressions or any other way to avoid multiple copies of a string. Any help will be highly appreciated

I'm using regular expressions to extract some data and some links from some web pages. I download the page and then I want to get a list of certain links. For building regular expressions, I use an app call The Regulator, which makes it pretty easy to build and test regular expressions. As a warning, I'm real weak with regular expressions. Let's say my regular expression is:

Hello all, I am attempting to create a small scripting application to be used during testing. I extract the commands from the script file I was going to tokenize the each line as one of the requirements is there one command per line.

I have a regular expression (^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 ) that results in matches. I would like to get what the actual regular expression is. In other words, when I apply ^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 to " HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) 37.33/2 HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) WITH CATHETER 37.34/2 " the expression is "HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT)". How do I gain access to the expression (not the matches) at runtime? Thanks, Mike
