The links above are in javascript and PHP but you can use the pattern/s to incorporate in a System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex function in C#.

Thanks for the kind words.  Jan Goyvaerts, who really is a super regex master, has an excellent free web site full of great info and tutorials (http://www.regular-expressions.info/).  He also has an excellent product, Regex Buddy ($39.95, http://www.regular-expressions.info/regexbuddy.html), that lets you test expressions.  It explains any RegEx as you build it and provides test tools and it supports several RegEx dialects (.NET, JavaScript, Perl, etc)

Regarding the specific problem you posed originally, I looked through the HTML to see what distinguished the links you wanted from all the others (in this case,

).  The (?<=...) subexpression excludes any matches that do not follow the pattern that replaces ...  It's called a lookbehind; there's also lookahead; and both can be positive (subexpression must appear) or negative (subexpression must not appear).

There are also lots of good people who post in the Regular Expressions zone on this site.
