Need string to read msn

[seojunkie]

I'm trying to write a script that will read in a search page from msn and find the index position of a given site. The code works except for one condition of the search.

MSN lists the results in two ways:
- If the searched for phase is in the domain name, then the parts of the url containing the search phase is enclosed in <strong> tags.  So if I did a search for the word cars and my url was www.bestcars.com, the code on MSN would appear as
<li class="first">www.best<strong>cars</strong>.com</li>

- if the searched for phase is not in the url, say ties, then the result appears as <li class="first">www.bestcars.com</li>

The problem is with the second type. Sometimes the found url will contain something after the .com, like:
<li class="first">www.bestcars.com/index.php?cPath=35</li>

I have tried an expresion like this to find that but I can't get it to work:
<li class="first">www.bestcars.com(.*)</li>
I also tried
<li class="first">www.bestcars.com^(.*)$</li>

Does anyone have any idea on what is needed to get this to work. I would appreciate any suggestions.

do you have anymore code to show
like the one you're using to do this regex...
would help a lot more

The following is the relevant code, I think.

$conditions = sprintf("<li class=\"first\">%s(.*)</li>", $tmpurl);

$file = fopen($filename, "r");
if ($file) {
while (!feof($file)) {
  $var = fgets($file, 1024);
    if (eregi($conditions,$var,$out))

After the above, $out should contain the found entries but doesn't.
