AutoIt - How to click on a link matches a certain pattern

I need to be able to search through a source code of a web page for a link matches a specific pattern and if there's a match - open it in a new window. I don't care about the browser, could be either IE or Chrome.

What I was able to achieve so far (which is not even close to what I need) is this:

MsgBox(0,"message box",StringRegExp("www.example.com/d12345/abcde.html","www.example.com/d\d*/abcde.html"))

So basically, if the string www.example.com/d12345/abcde.html exists in the source code, I am getting '1' in return. What I need is, that if a string matches the pattern - open the link in a new window. Could someone suggest how to achieve this?

Thank you for your help.

  1. get all links (complete url) in your file.
  2. search through those links for your match
  3. If match then Shellexecute the url.
