If you need to parse HTML, use HtmlAgilityPack http://htmlagilitypack.codeplex.com/ — Danilo Vulović, Sep 23 '12 at 21:42

Here's the regex pattern that you can use to extract what you want:

(?<=\<a\shref=.*?\>).*?(?=\<\/a\>)

FYI, `<`, `>` and `/` have no special meanings and do not need to be escaped. Also, lookarounds are an unnecessary complication; it's much simpler as well as more efficient to match the whole element "straight" and extract its content via a capturing group. – Alan Moore Sep 24 '12 at 03:44
