Answer 1

That should do the trick.

String text = ...
Matcher matcher Pattern.compile("href=\"(.*?)\"").matcher(text);
while (matcher.find())
{
   String hrefcontent = matcher.group(1);
}

Answer 2

Try:

import java.util.regex.Pattern;
String textToSearch = "[Some text to search through]";
Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("href=\"(.*?)\"")
