Hi, Would someone be so kind to help with regex question? I have an html file I need to search for all urls contained within href attributes that are not in a list I have specified.
I need to return every line that contains a url that is not either https://www.xyz.com/* or http://www.abc.com/start.html. There are many other urls I want excluded, but removed for simplicity.
For example, my html file contains:
<title>hello world</title>
<body>
<a href="http://www.xyz.com/start.aspx">Homepage</a>
</body>
Thank you so much in advance
What I have tried:
this works perfectly as returns all lines with href attributes containing urls:
(<a\ href=")((ht|f)tp(s?)\:\/\/.*)
however, i need to exclude https://www.xyz.com/* or http://www.abc.com/start.html. so i attempted this but still returns same lines and doesn't exclude my list:
(<a\ href=")(((ht|f)tp(s?)\:\/\/.*)(?!https\:\/\/www.xyz.com\/|http\:\/\/www.abc.com\/start.html.*))
