Regex for sub matching text in href links

galaganut · September 14, 2005

Hello,

I have a great regex for extracting hrefs from a web page, but I can not figure out where I can insert one of my submatch conditions.

Here is the regex that matches the href link.

(?:[hH][rR][eE][fF]\s*=)(?:[\s""']*)(?!#|[Mm]ailto|[lL]ocation.|[jJ]avascript|.*css|.*this\.)(.*?)(?:[\s>""'])

and here is another regex that matches part of the link:

W0QQitemZ([0-9]{5,10})QQ

Where in the first regex do I enter this one in order to get the following submatch?

SubMatch: 4358700777

Thanks in advance,

Chuck
