regexp help - how to extract certain strings

[trancexx]

Btw, we can (re)use \1 inside the pattern:

$sWeb_Site = 'somewebsite.com'
$sString = '<a href="http://' & $sWeb_Site & '">' & $sWeb_Site & '</a>'

$sRet = StringRegExpReplace($sString, '(?i)<(\w+) href="http://(.*?)">\2</\1>', '\2')

ConsoleWrite($sRet & @CRLF & @extended & @CRLF)

Not sure why we need it, but it's good to know

Wow!

I didn't know

Going back to the original problem, here is a non-regexp way of doing this using the little-used _StringBetween....

#include <array.au3>
#Include <String.au3>

$string = '<a href="/name/lockie" class="plain">Lockie</a> <a href="/name/aram-1" class="plain">Aram</a>'
$array = _StringBetween($string,">","<")
$string = _ArrayToString($array,"")

MsgBox(0,"",$string)

Oops, I wrote _StringBetween using RegEx as default

lol. It's a superb function anyway!
