Under the blind assumption that your data won't be changing too much or becomes 'faulty' (otherwise you'd be using a parser right?) then something like this ought do
my $re = qr{ (?: <img \s+ .*? src=" ([^"]+) " .*? > )? <a \s+ .*? href=" ([^"]+) " .*? > }x; $in = '<td><img src="foo.jpg"><a href="index3.html">New index</a></td>'; my($href, $img) = grep defined, reverse $in =~ $re; print "href - $href\nimg - $img\n"; $in = '<td><a href="index3.html">New index</a></td>'; ($href, $img) = grep defined, reverse $in =~ $re; print "href - $href\nimg - $img\n"; __output__ href - index3.html img - foo.jpg href - index3.html img -
See. perlre for more info.

in thread Regexp to extract HTML link data by hatter

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
