All html anchor tags without those contains specific string

Question

I have this html:

    <a id='topnavbtn_tutorials' href='javascript:void(0);' onclick='w3_open_nav("tutorials")' title='Tutorials'>TUTORIALS <i class='fa fa-caret-down'></i><i class='fa fa-caret-up' style='display:none'></i></a><a id='topnavbtn_references' href='javascript:void(0);' onclick='w3_open_nav("references")' title='References'>REFERENCES <i class='fa fa-caret-down'></i><i class='fa fa-caret-up' style='display:none'></i></a><a id='topnavbtn_examples' href='javascript:void(0);' onclick='w3_open_nav("examples")' title='Examples'>EXAMPLES <i class='fa fa-caret-down'></i><i class='fa fa-caret-up' style='display:none'></i></a><a href='/forum/default.asp'>FORUM</a></div></div>
<div id='nav_tutorials' class='w3-dropnav w3-light-grey w3-card-2 w3-center'></div>
<div id='nav_references' class='w3-dropnav w3-light-grey w3-card-2 w3-center'></div>
<div id='nav_examples' class='w3-dropnav w3-light-grey w3-card-2 w3-center'></div>
<div id='nav_translate' class='w3-dropnav w3-light-grey w3-card-2 w3-center'></div>
<div id='nav_search' class='w3-dropnav w3-light-grey w3-card-2 w3-center'></div></div>
<div class='w3-row w3-light-grey' id='belowtopnav'>
<div class='w3-col w3-slim' id='leftmenu'>
<div id='leftmenuinner'>
<div class='w3-light-grey' id='leftmenuinnerinner'>
<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='close_menu()' class='w3-closebtn w3-hide-large w3-large' style='padding:3px 12px;'>&times;</a>
<h2 class="left"><span class="left_h2">Colors</span> Tutorial</h2>
<a target="_top" href="default.asp">Colors HOME</a>
<a target="_top" href="colors_names.asp">Color Names</a>

And I've wrote this regex:

<a .*?href=("|').*?\.asp("|').*?>.*?<\/a>

I need to match only:

1.

<a href='/forum/default.asp'>FORUM</a>

2.

<a target="_top" href="default.asp">Colors HOME</a>

3.

  <a target="_top" href="colors_names.asp">Color Names</a>

Here are the matches from the current regex (First result is bad):

1.

<a id='topnavbtn_tutorials' href='javascript:void(0);' onclick='w3_open_nav("tutorials")' title='Tutorials'>TUTORIALS <i class='fa fa-caret-down'></i><i class='fa fa-caret-up' style='display:none'></i></a><a id='topnavbtn_references' href='javascript:void(0);' onclick='w3_open_nav("references")' title='References'>REFERENCES <i class='fa fa-caret-down'></i><i class='fa fa-caret-up' style='display:none'></i></a><a id='topnavbtn_examples' href='javascript:void(0);' onclick='w3_open_nav("examples")' title='Examples'>EXAMPLES <i class='fa fa-caret-down'></i><i class='fa fa-caret-up' style='display:none'></i></a><a href='/forum/default.asp'>FORUM</a>

2.

<a target="_top" href="default.asp">Colors HOME</a>

3.

  <a target="_top" href="colors_names.asp">Color Names</a>

Please modify my existing regex.

Answer 1

This regex seems to work fine:

<a.*?href=["']{1}.*?\.asp["']{1}.*?>.*?<\/a>
