ASP.NET Regex Help Required

[[UKLans]Khan]

Hello guys,

What is the regex command for finding the text in a link. Ie:

href="www.then domain.com">

I need the: www.thedomain.com

so in this case between the "" but what happens if it has a " in the url. E.g:

href="www.thedomain.com/page.aspx?id="1"">

I need the: www.thedomain.com/page.aspx?id="1"

and what happens if the tag has more at the end. e.g:

href="www.thedomain.com/page.aspx?id="1"" class="theclass">

I need the: www.thedomain.com/page.aspx?id="1"

Thanks,

Khan

Hi Khan

Unfortunately I'm not an expert in ASP.NET, however I can tell you now that any query string in a URL (i.e. mypage.aspx?someVar=1) will never contain double quotes (""), nor should they ever really include single quotes (''). This basically stems from the fact that a double quote will confuse the HTML parser which would think the href="" attribute ended at the second double quote it finds. Anyway, you just won't find any query strings with double quotes in, so that at least helps a little bit I'll have a look around for information on the regex function.

Kind Regards

Unfortunately I don't believe ASP.NET yet has an official 'manual' like PHP and other such launguages have. But, hopefully, the above link will help you. Let me know how you get on
