Aah I found it! The greedy first (.*?) was the troublemaker. My code came out like this: $matched = preg_match_all("{m=more&id=([A-Z0-9]+?)>([^<]+?)</a>}", $txtonly, $match); No double Href's anymore :)

[/quote] Thanks for replying wicknick1 :) unfortunatly I still get the double results. so one without linkname (where the <img> was) and one with the correct link as following: <a href=sitemap.php?m=more&id=###></a><a href=sitemap.php?m=more&id=###>Linkname</a> Maybe a way to seperate id=### and the link name? So when an ID is the same, it only results one ID ?

Hay there, Hope someone can help me with the following. I'm creating a script that indexes links on pages to create easy sitemaps. I have already stripped tags except <a> and I use preg_match_all to collect all the links with the following: $matched = preg_match_all("{m=more&id=(.*?)>(.*?)</a>}", $txtonly, $match); but now the problem.: Some links have a graphic before them with the same m=more&id=###> link. But since the <img> tags has been stripped it's empty so when rebuild it results in: <a href=sitemap.php?m=more&id=###></a> and an <a href=sitemap.php?m=more&id=###>Link name</a> I tried replacing the second (.*?) in (.+?) but then the result is: <a href=sitemap.php?m=more&id=###></a><a href=sitemap.php?m=more&id=###>Link name</a> (double result) No result when matching for [a-zA-Z0-9] Am I missing something or approaching this the wrong way?
