 <a href='https://zzzz' target="_blank">ss URL</a>

Just don't. Just use DOM methods to get them. First, we create a temporary div and then set it's inner html to that of the input string. The we can go through the <a> and return their href property using Array.map

var elem = document.createElement('div');
elem.innerHTML = str;
var urls = [].map.call(elem.querySelectorAll('a'), function(a){
    return a.innerText.toLowerCase() == "ss url" ? a.href : "";
}).filter(String);
