SED multiple links in one line
I'm using sed to pull links from a rather large html file, and so far it's working rather well, but I've noticed that it is skipping some links.

On some lines there are multiple links for example:

Quote:
Click here for LINK1 and LINK2.
It is completely skipping the first link in these.

Here is what I'm using:
Code:
sed 's/^.*<a class="slinks" href="//' | sed 's/<.*$//'

Any suggestions as to what I can do to make sure that it will work in these instances?

Thanks

Why not process the file with sed first and put links on diffrent lines:

Code:
sed 's/<a class=/\n&/g' | sed 's/^.*<a class="slinks" href="//' | sed 's/<.*$//'

how does your line look like before parsing ?

Looks like that might have fixed it. I had considered about putting them on separate lines first, but thought that I would just run into the same issue.

Thanks a bunch.
