Click to expand...

"\<a * href=*\>*\</a\>" in MSWord

"\<a .* href=.*\>.*\</a\>" in Unix IIRC. Be aware this won't find "<a *
Href=*>*</A>"

VB Net may differ.
 
In the general case this can not be done with regular expressions,
because the <a> element can contain markup itself. You need an HTML
parser for this problem. As far as I can tell Microsoft is of no help
here. If you can consider other languages, there are well-tested
solutions for Perl, Python, and Ruby. For C# I found this link:

(?i)<(a{1}?)[^>]*href=[^>]*[>]?(.*?)(?:</\1|/)>{1}?
