Hi,
I have many links in my page.
For example <a href="/promotions/download/schools/australia.aspx">Australia</a>
Now I want only the href with its value i.e (href="/promotions/download/schools/australia.aspx") with vbscript regular expression.

A:
My regex would be something like:
href="([^"]*)"
Might need escaping in your context but that (or something very much like it) should work.

don't need the brackets if he wants the href= as well. href="[^"]*"

Very true, but makes slicing the value out much easier (match group 0 for the whole thing, group 1 for the URI)

I could copy the code out, but you'd do better to read the whole thing: http://www.regular-expressions.info/vbscript.html

I just gave you one. Go to the link above and skip to the How to Use the VBScript RegExp Object section.

A:
Regexes are fundamentally bad at parsing HTML (see Can you provide some examples of why it is hard to parse XML and HTML with a regex? for why). Luckily, you should have access to the best parser available: the web browser. Modern browsers create a Document Object Model which is a tree structure that contains all of the information about the page. One of the methods you can call on the DOM is links. I don't really know vbscript, but this code looks like it should work:
For i = 0 To document.links.length
document.write(document.links(i).href & "<BR>")
