Confusion in RegExp

[Digisoul]

Hello,

I am trying to create a regExp for following HTML text:
 

<a href="link=1">1</a> <b>2</b> <a href="link=3">3</a>  | <a href="link=2">Previous</a>  | <a href="link=3">Next</a>

My intention is to extract href from last <a> tag.
Here is my attempt:

Local $reg = '(?i)\|\s?<a href="(.*?)">Next</a>'
Local $text = '<a href="link=1">1</a> <b>2</b> <a href="link=3">3</a>  | <a href="link=2">Previous</a>  | <a href="link=3">Next</a>'
$aData = StringRegExp($text,$reg,3)
ConsoleWrite($aData[0]&@LF)

Now problem is i am unable to extract exact href from the last <a> tag.

Here is the output:
 

link=2">Previous</a>  | <a href="link=3

I know I can use other techniques, but i want to know, why my pattern is not working or what is the right pattern for such situation?

Thanks in Advance.

Something like this ?

Local $reg = '(?i).*<a\s+href="([^"]+)'
Local $text = '<a href="link=1">1</a> <b>2</b> <a href="link=3">3</a>  | <a href="link=2">Previous</a>  | <a href="link=3">Next</a>'
$aData = StringRegExp($text, $reg, 1)
ConsoleWrite($aData[0]&@LF)
