I did it this way

$a=$coll->find('div[class=lftFlt1]');
$text=$element->find("a[class=cursor]",0)->onclick;

By far the best lib for scraping is simple html dom. basically uses jquery selector syntax.

http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/

The way you'd get the data in this example:

include("simple_html_dom.php");
$dom=str_get_html("page.html");
$text=$dom->find(".lftFlt1 a.contentSubHead",0)->plaintext;
//or 
$text=$dom->find(".lftFlt1 a.contentSubHead",0)->title;

You should use DOMDocument or XPath. RegEx is generally not recommended for parsing HTML.

Please go through my previous answers about how to handle HTML with DOM.

XPath to get the Text Content of all anchor elements:

//a/text()

XPath to get the title attribute of all anchor elements:

//a/@title

XPath to get the onclick attribute of all anchor elements:

//a/@onclick

You will have to use some string function to extract the number from the onclick text.

Use regex:

/setList1\(([0-9]+)\)[^>]+title="([^"]+)"/si

and preg_match() or preg_match_all()
