    Hi
    I am having some trouble with a regex, i want to get all the urls in anchor tags of a web page but from the example below i get script tags as well. All i want back is http://thisissomesite.com and not the html tags
    Could anyone advice on how to fix this as it is driving me nuts

    preg_match_all("/(<([\w]+)[^>]*>)(.*)(<\/\\2>)/", $result, $output, PREG_SET_ORDER);
