I am new to regex and see how to match the URL string using the expression 
below: 

Expression: <a href[^<]*</a>

To match: Art Page

Unfortunately, the URL strings vary and I am basically wanting to get 
everything beginning at '<a href=' and ending at '</a>'.  Doing so, would allow 
me to get URL strings like the one above as well as:

<a href="http://art.com" target="_blank">Art Page<br>And More</a>

or

<a href="http://art.com/"><img src="http://art.com/flower.jpg" alt="Art"></a>
