Hi,
after hours of debugging I am not capable of solving a problem.

I want to parse the HTML of a spanish forum page and get the thread titles.
I tested the regular expression with a third program and seems to be ok, my problem is that the capture group (?<hilo>...) value is updated each 7 loops ( and not each loop like it is supposed to do ) but the value returned by RegExMatch seems to be okay, it changes and is updated at each call.

The code:



Have you experienced something similar, the captured var value not updating between loops ?
After looking other thread I have declared local the vars for the regex expression groups, but same result.

Thanks for reading

I've detected that my RegExp is not as good as I thought, is returning more results that expected.

So I concrete my question:

How I can write a regular expression that returns only Anchor tags with class attribute ?

My current expression:
<a href=""viewtopic\.php\?t=.+?""\sclass=""topictitle"">(?<hilo>.+?)</a>

is returning anchor tags with or without class attribute and with href equal to viewtopic.php?t=...

search for XPath in the forum, I think you can get them directly. A fancy Regex would work too, but I am just learning regex.

Get all a href links in a Web page

Althought that's not what you asked.
Well, I suggest to write a little script using your regex, applied to some continuation section, so we can test and see what is wrong.
The look of the RE you give seems OK, so I wonder what is wrong.
