[SOLVED] How to read please help

[jeet_0077]

Hi all,

I need to read some part of the website with regular expression. Here is the detail.

 

If we visit the following link:

http://eventful.com/events/jazz-dancing-love-fun-/E0-001-011459632-4

 

and in the above link we have something like

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sweethearts/128/165

and is diffrent for different links (the first link above)

 

http://slurl.com/secondlife/    is common for all but Sweethearts/128/165 part will change every time.

 

in the source code it is as:

<li>

      <span class="faded">[Other]</span>

      <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sweethearts/128/165" rel="nofollow" class="click-offsite">Sweethearts (128, 165)</a>

</li>

 

Can someone please tell to how to grab the link

"http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sweethearts/128/165"

 

from the source code of

http://eventful.com/events/jazz-dancing-love-fun-/E0-001-011459632-4

 

Thanks
