Regex problem - please help.

[Krakatioison]

My problem is simple, but I spent lot of time playing with regex and I am
going nuts.

I need to automatically (many times per day) extract HEADING and
DESCRIPTION from the html code below?


HTML CODE:

<a href="http://www.mylink.com">HEADING</a><br>DESCRIPTION<br>


I am able to get the link already using this regex command:
"a.*href\s*=\s*(?:""(?<1>[^""]*)""|(?<1>\S+))"

Can someone write REGEX command to get HEADING and DESCRIPTION.


Please, it would be really appreciated.

This I already went to... hm..
I guess there is no one who can fix me with the code, just by looking at it.

Krakatioison,
This one should work, I tested it against the sample you provided. You
may want to include the ignore case option. Let me know how that works out
for you.

(?:<a\s+href=[\"\'](?<Link>.+?)[\"\'>]+(?<Heading>(\w+))</a>(<(\w+)>)(?<Description>.*)\2)
