scrape url out of brackets?

[homepricemaps@gmail.com]

any idea how to scrape a url out of a file? for instance if i want to
scrape out the href at the end which is "www.cnn.co m" is there a way to
do it?

<tr class="rulesbod y"><td width="183" class="rulesbod y"><a
href="www.cnn.c om">

Regular Expressions are the most common way.

HTML parser is another

Re: scrape url out of brackets?

so you recommend using some sort of for statement with the html parser
where i tell it to only parse stuff found in the <tr> tag for instance?
