i modified the regex a bit (i found a bug there), so two lines you mentioned become `href\s=\s[\"\'] [^\"\']+ [\"\']\s> #first href (not c +aptured) \s([^<>]+?)\s* #text inside first <a></a> +(captured)` [download] At first line, i find a href= string followed by quotes (single or doble — `["']`) containing string free of quoting symbols (i used a negated character class: `[^"']` means NOT `["']`). At the next line i simply find a text without tags within. If you think there will be another tags within your link, it would be better to use `\s(.+?)\s # non-greedy capturing of everything till the +next </a>` [download] instead.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi. Your regex matched fine the first time but I need to put all occurences into an array. I can't get the array to hold anything now `push (@results, "$1::$2::$3"), $result_content =~ m/$regex/;` [download] I tried adding /g to the end but it doesn't contain anything at all. I tried adding /g to the regex itself but it errors out. What am I doign wrong?	[reply] [d/l]

your code does a very strange thing: you AT FIRST put a string "$1::$2::$3" into array and then perform search! Use a cycle :) `push (@results, "$1::$2::$3") while $result_content =~ /$regex/g;` [download] or a cleaner but IMO more ugly code: `while ($result_content =~ /$regex/g) { push (@results, "$1::$2::$3"); }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
