A couple of handlers...

[David Bovill]

As I am not much good at regular expressions I thought I would share my
ignorance with others :) Here is the best I can do with regard to extracting
links from htmltext in fields - they only work on a single line and they do
not find links with variable whitespace as you may get in html web pages.

on html_DeconstructNameLink nextHtmlLine, @someText, @someLink
    -- <a name="/Users/david/Movies/crossingTheBridge.mp4">Crossing The
Bridge</a>

    put "<a name=" & quote & "([^>]*)" & quote & ">([^<]*)</a>" into someReg
    return matchText(nextHtmlLine, someReg, someLink, someText)
end html_DeconstructNameLink

on html_DeconstructRefLink nextHtmlLine, @someText, @someLink
    -- <a href="/Users/david/Movies/crossingTheBridge.mp4">Crossing The
Bridge</a>

    put "<a href=" & quote & "([^>]*)" & quote & ">([^<]*)</a>" into someReg
    return matchText(nextHtmlLine, someReg, someLink, someText)
end html_DeconstructRefLink

Is there a better way?
