Hi Wim,

You could try changing your search to:

find text "<a +href[ =]+[^<]+</a>" in theHTML with regexp, string result and all occurrences

... so long as there were no unencoded "<" in the link.

Unfortunately the match is always 'greedy', ie:
set theHTML to "<a href=\"file1.html\">link1</a> test <a href=\"file2.html\">link2</a>"

set x to find text "<a href=.*</a>" in theHTML with regexp, string result and all occurrences
