with

(?<=\"\>).*(?=\<\/A\>\<BR\>\<SPAN class\=)

gives

----------------------------------- match # 0 -----------------------------------

The esoteric is still exoteric!

Tried with .*? in the middle but no luck either.

How to cover the spacebar thats the difference between the two, between the > and the first letter. And how to cover both, does regex support spintax?

lol nvm i just found out i'm learning less about regex by the week, in a month i'll be neanderthal regex...

apparently spintax might work for this. It's the only solution I can find without it going nuts and matching all sorts of stuff.

I have discovered that by the third spin regex starts acting all weird on me, though. I'm asking at the regexadvice forum, but its some weird shit

(?<=\<A title\=\"|png\"\>\<\/DIV\>\<A title\=\"|png\"\>\<\/DIV\>\<A title\=).*(?=\" href\=\"\/)

gives matches with the apostrophes, not both the ones with and without the apostrophes, which is what I'm looking for, as if the second and third spin were conflicting with each other.
