Question

I am using the following Expression to select all hyperlinks

//a[@href]

How can I write an expression to select all hyperlinks which match this format

http://abc.com/articles/1

here http://abc.com/articles/ is constant and the article number increases

Answer 1

<a\s.*?href=(?:["'](http://abc.com/articles/([0-9])+)["']).*?>(.*?)</a>

UPDATE:

If you need the xpath expression here it is:

a[starts-with(@href,'http://abc.com/articles/')]

this would return all the links which has href attribute which starts with ‘http://abc.com/articles/‘ I hope this answers your qiestion.
