Convert links to text using Regex

Hello,

The below function finds the first link in the string and assign it to the rest of the links in a string.  How can I make it replace Hlink with the correct link text?

Thank you!!!

This is an example of the input string:  This is a Project <a href="http://www.boeing.com" target=_blank>Hlink</a>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target=_blank>Hlink</a> Testing how long it can go.

    public string LinkToString(string aStr)
        {
            //System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex re = new Regex(@"((https?|ftp|file)\://|www.)[A-Za-z0-9\.\-]+(/[A-Za-z0-9\?\&\=;\+!'\(\)\*\-\._~%]*)*/g", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
            System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex re = new Regex("((http://|https|file|www\\.)([A-Z0-9.-:]{1,})\\.[0-9A-Z?;~&#=\\-_\\./]{2,})", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
            System.Text.RegularExpressions.MatchCollection mc = re.Matches(theStr);
            foreach (Match m in mc)
            {
                theStr = theStr.Replace("Hlink", m.Value);
            }
            return Regex.Replace(aStr, "<(.|\n)*?>", string.Empty);
        }
