Regex Simple question

[techcone]

Hello coders,

 

a simple question from me as I am n00b in regex.

 

I have ample urls in this format .

 

<a href="http://www.abc.com/1.html"> text 1 </a>

<a href="http://www.abc.com/2.html"> text 2 </a>

 

 

I want to extract text and its url like :

 

http://www.abc.com/1.html - text 1

http://www.abc.com/2.html - text 2

 

Can anyone provide me the regular expression for it.

 

Thanx in advance.

<?php
$html = '
<a href="http://www.abc.com/1.html"> text 1 </a>
<a href="http://www.abc.com/2.html"> text 2 </a>
';
preg_match_all('/<a href="(.*?)">(.*?)<\/a>/',$html,$matches);
foreach(array_keys($matches[0]) as $n){
  $url = $matches[1][$n];
  $text = $matches[2][$n];
  print "$url - $text<br>";
}
?>

One more simple query some time the url is like this :

 

<a href="http://www.abc.com/1.html">

text 1 </a>

 

How to catch these in nets ?

[rhodesa]

add an s modifier to the regex:

preg_match_all('/<a href="(.*?)">(.*?)<\/a>/s',$html,$matches);
