grep for html what's wrong?

<a href=\"\/foo\/.*"\s>.*?<\/a>
to grep
    <a href="/foo/thong" >Good</a><a href="/foo/thing" >Bad</a>

gives the whole line. What if I wanted to get the two separated matches? (all single matches between and )

Put the non-greedy option inside the href argument as well.

preg_match_all('#<a href="/foo/.*?" >.*?</a>#', $str, $m);

print_r($m);

Try:

echo '<a href="/foo/thong" >Good</a><a href="/foo/thing" >Bad</a>' |
sed 's/<a href=\"\/foo\/\([^\"]*\)\"\s>[^<]*<\/a>/\1\n/g'
