Hello Piyush,

I wrote a small example for you, however, this will grab anything that has similar link formats from source code you are reading from. I suggest finding a way to define it better or, in a step before this one, try to grab the block of code that you need to read this from. I included a way to convert the information into a 2D array, to give the rest of your script an easier way to obtain the information. However, it could have errors depending on the other links within the source. test, play, and see what you can come up with.

#include <Array.au3>
Local $source = '<a href="http://link.songs.pk/song1.php?songid=7995">No Problem</a>' & @CRLF _
            & '<a href="http://link.songs.pk/song1.php?songid=7996">Shakira</a>'

Local $sre = StringRegExp($source,'\<a href\=\"(.*?)\"\>(.*?)\<\/a\>',3) ;This will grab both the link and the text you need.

;Here I include a way to convert that information into a 2D array
;$new_Array[n][0] will contain the link
;$new_Array[n][1] will contain the text
$row = (UBound($sre))/2
Local $new_Array[$row][2]
$dim = 0
For $s = 0 To UBound($sre)-2 Step 2
    $new_Array[$dim][0] = $sre[$s]
    $new_Array[$dim][1] = $sre[$s + 1]
    $dim +=1
Next

_ArrayDisplay($new_Array)

Enjoy!
