Plus, http could be IN CAPS, so change the U to iU And, actually, SOME old-school HTML pages will have neither ' nor " around the URL, and are (or were) valid: href=page2.html was considered valid for HTML for a long long long time So toss in (\"|')? And then you may be finding URLs that are not actually linked but are part of the "visible" content, so maybe you only want the ones that have <a[^>]href= in front of them. If I can toss off 3 problems without even trying... So I still think Google or searching the archives (as I suggested off-list) will be the quickest route to a CORRECT answer, but here we are again in this same thread we've been in every month or so for the better part of a decade...
