<br />
&lt;a href='asdfasdf.com'&gt;first tag text&lt;/a&gt;<br />
<br />
could you explain to me the expression<br />

I might need to handle some crazy link ie<br />

Just leave away the ?&lt;text&gt; and use<br />
<br />
&lt;(?&lt;a&gt;\w*)&gt;(.*)&lt;/\k&lt;a&gt;&gt;<br />
<br />
&lt;(?&lt;a&gt;\w*)&gt; check for &lt;a followed by any alphanummeric value, hast to close with &gt;<br />
(.*) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;any number or character is allowed, any number of repetition<br />
&lt;/\k&lt;a&gt;&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; has to end with &lt;/a&gt;

Regular Expression

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
