simple regular expression for links

[burhankhan]

Hi:

I have this regular expression to find links in a page.

[code]$urlpattern = "/<a[^>]+href=\"([^\"]+)/i";[/code]

This will find links like that: href="www.domain.com"

What will be regular expression to find link of href='www.domain.com' also???

see difference of single quote (') and double quote (")

I need regular express that can find both kind of links (single quote, double quote)

Any help will be highly appreciate.

Thanks

Try this:

[code]$urlpattern = "/<a[^>]+href=(?:\"|')([^'\"]+)/i";[/code]

Excellent, make sure that you mark the topic as 'SOLVED'.

Unfortunately, HTML does not require either ' or ". So you have to compensate for that too.

OK, give this a try and run with it...

[code]$urlpattern = "/<a[^>]+href=(?:\"|')?([^'\">]+)/i";[/code]

[b]Edit:[/b] I've tested this and it seems to work fine.
