Hello,

I have a great regex for extracting hrefs from a web page, but I can not figure out where I can insert one of my submatch conditions.

Here is the regex that matches the href link.

Code: 
(?:[hH][rR][eE][fF]\s*=)(?:[\s""]*)(?!#|[Mm]ailto|[lL]ocation.|[jJ]avascript|.*css|.*this\.)(.*?)(?:[\s>""])

and here is another regex that matches part of the link:

Code: 
W0QQitemZ([0-9]{5,10})QQ

Where in the first regex do I enter this one in order to get the following submatch?

Text: <html><a href=""http://cgi.ebay.com/YAMAZAKI-Gold-Accent-CARA-Soup-Spoon-Spoons-NEW_W0QQitemZ4358700777QQcategoryZ38242QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem""></html>


Match: http://cgi.ebay.com/YAMAZAKI-Gold-A...358700777QQcategoryZ38242QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

SubMatch: 4358700777



Thanks in advance,

Chuck
