Android Question [SOLVED] Ah that regex... Extract a link from html

[Jaames]

Am I stupid or what... (probably) I cannot simply understand it...
What is pattern to extract
http://somesite.com/some.category/picture.example.gif
From
<border = "1" src="http://somesite.com/some.category/picture.example.gif" width ="50" height ="50"/>

:/

try ("src=""(.*?)"" ") with result 1 in the array, not 0.

if B4A supports this regex matches method

Have you seen the online regex tool: http://basic4ppc.com:51042/regex_ws/index.html ?

The pattern is: src=\"([^"]+)
You will need to use two quotes for each of the quotes.

That's it. group #1 from match, a link reference.
I wasn't aware of http://basic4ppc.com:51042/regex_ws/index.html.
Thanks

sorex, I tried your example, but it didn't work. Thanks anyway.
I guess I have to warm up a chair and start read about regex...

weird because when I enter it in Erel's tool (nice testing tool) and only changing the double double quotes to a single double quote it gives the same result as Erel's.

I use that in a vb program aswell so it's correct.

You are right, by modifying it a little bit, it gives the same result as Erel's code
src="(.*?)" same result as src=\"([^"]+)
Thank you
