In need of help with regular expressions - GoFuckYourself.com

Assuming I have a string looking like this:

http://www.rebelcutie.com/gal/ox7/clean.htm">Squeaky Clean Teen</a><br>

and I would like to get rid of the part behind the .htm(l) - how does the regular expression look for it ?

Thanks

Well, assuming the string ends with a newline character...

Are you using Perl, PHP, or... ?

I'm pretty sure PHP has built in functions to extract URL's --

This might work in perl assuming that $newurl is the results of the extraction and $oldurl is the original line

I didnt test it but if it dosnt work let me know and I will check into it for you

$newurl = substr ($oldurl,index(lc($oldurl),"http://"),(index($oldurl,"\">") - index(lc($url),"http://"))
