    regex

    I want to match mailto:null@voi d.com......gif in a string that contains many
    similar patterns.

    I used "mailto:(.[^"]*)" to match each "mailto: ..." string. The parans
    then allowed me to get at the email address.

    But now I realize I need more info from each match.
    I need to extend the match to the first 'gif' (the characters 'gif' would be
    the end of the string instead of ' " ' as in my first regex.) but I am
    having some trouble doing so.

    I have tried a number of different combinations but without the match I
    need.

    I know what I need. I need to do as I did in the example above except I
    need to not include a group of characters instead of just one.

    Thanks, Mike

      this works

      "mailto:(.[^"]*)".*gif"{1}

          no regex experts?
          I am surprised that no one responded. I did finally figure it out.

          /"mailto:(.[^"]*)".*?gif/i
