What is the Regex code to match a string in a homepage?

Hello,

I am programming using php language and I want to find using regex the STRING inside the following:

target="">STRING</a>

What is the regex code to extract this string?

I am using

preg_match_all("$re", $html, $m, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

where $re is the regex code I need.

thanks.

 

$re = '/>([^<]+)<\/a>/i';

PHP:

 

But this code will not get the starting parameter that is target="">

 

You said you wanted to find just the STRING part...

$re = '/target=\'"([^\'"]+)\'"[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/a>/i';

 

Here is one of my old function. (Returns the found results in array)

function preg_match_all_array($startWith, $endWith, $source)
	{
		$findMatches = preg_match_all('/'.$startWith.'(.*?)'.$endWith.'/si',$source,$matches);
		
		if($findMatches)
		{
			$allmatches = array();
			for($i=0;$i<count($matches[0]);$i++)
			{
				$allmatches[] = $matches[1][$i];
			}
			return $allmatches;
		} else {
			return false;
		}
	}

PHP:

Here is example usage (this will extract all links from Forums.digitalpoint.com)

<?php
$get_source = file_get_contents('http://forums.digitalpoint.com/');
	$result = preg_match_all_array('href="', '"', $get_source);
	echo '<pre>';
	
	print_r($result);
?>

PHP:

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BOTH OF YOU!!
