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.

Sorry but with this Regex I can't retrieve all links. I'm comparing using
WebClient class and WebBrowser (Document.Links). In the second case I obtain
all links, in the first not.

Thx a lot! ;-)
