<a href= a.aspx> 'Space after =
<a href="a.aspx"> ' Normal
<a
href="
a.aspx">  'New line

IT'S REALLY URGENT plz help me guys.

I dont know what regex is but I'm sure if you pur runat="server" you should be able to edit the control via server-side code.

I agree with Studz, a simple runat="server" property in those links would make them editable server side.

On the other hand I would probably just use the <asp:HyperLink> control myself.

If you are attempting to read your own page, then you shouldn't even be attempting a search like this. You could have looped through your control collection on the page, or added a runat="server".

If you are attempting to read some other page, then you'd of course use a regular expression. Here's a start

Code:

---

<a.+href=\"(.+?)\">
