This works for me: `use strict; use warnings; for(<DATA>){ print if s/.a href="(.)".*/$1/; } __DATA__ <td scope="row">9</td> <td scope="row">SUBSIDIARIES OF THE REGISTRANT</td> <td scope="row"><a href="/Archives/edgar/data/1050122/0000 +92735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0009.txt">0009.txt</a></td> <td scope="row">EX-21.1</td>` [download] Output: `C:\Users\James\Desktop\perlmonks>perlmonks.pl /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-00¡0365- +0009.txt` [download] EDIT: It seems that `$/ = "</html>";` manipulates the input record seperator in such a way it does completely break the functionality of the simple regex. Do yu have any links to documentation on this $/ = "</html>"; ?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Not sure if this helps, but the full text block, from <html> through </html> appears below. Just using $/ as a way to indicate the end of a record.

Re^5: REGEX for url by Marshall (Canon) on Apr 25, 2016 at 22:24 UTC
I ran this code as essentially suggested by james28909 against your data set. This approach has obvious flaws in terms of HTML structure, because there are href's that you don't care about. A module to parse this would be better. #!usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $line; while (my $line = <DATA>) { (my $url) = $line =~ m/.a href="(.)".*/; next unless $url; print "$url\n"; } =Prints javascript:history.back() http://www.sec.gov/index.htm"><img src="/images/sealTop.gif" alt="SEC +Seal" border="0 /edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm http://www.sec.gov/ /edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm /edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +001.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +002.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +003.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +004.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +005.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +006.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +007.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +008.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +009.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0 +010.txt /Archives/edgar/data/1050122/000092735601000365/0000927356-01-000365.t +xt /cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=0001050122&action=getcompany /cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&SIC=3827&owner=include Process completed successfully =cut __DATA__ <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>EDGAR Filing Documents for 0000927356-01-000365</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/include/interactive.css" + /> </head> <body style="margin: 0"> <noscript><div style="color:red; font-weight:bold; text-align:center;" +>This page uses Javascript.

This version is a little more robust - it works in both cases - with or without setting "$/". It can also handle multiple URL's. `use strict; use warnings; $/="</html>"; for(<DATA>){ print"$1\n" while /a href="(.*)"/g; } __DATA__ <td scope="row">9</td> <td scope="row">SUBSIDIARIES OF THE REGISTRANT</td> <td scope="row"><a href="/Archives/edgar/data/1050122/0000 +92735601000365/0000927356-01-000365- 0009.txt">0009.txt</a></td> <td scope="row">EX-21.1</td> <td scope="row"><a href="/Another/URL/here.html">0009.txt</a></td>` [download] This is not an optical illusion, it just looks like one.
