More specifically, the links are all just news affiliate webites, like newsok.com, etc. I have no idea which news affiliate websites they will be, but there are hundreds of them. He changes some of them regularly, so I am building this to check on them once per day, to pick up any new ones and add them to our database.

My friend that does that said to check it daily, so I am just writing a script to go do that. The part I'm having a problem with is getting the full html link, I've been using strip and striping down every part, but that is just too much, I know there is an expr that will work. I just cannot recall how to write it.
