PS: I am use plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-regex/

Please provide the language you are using the regex in. As the [regex tag info](http://stackoverflow.com/tags/regex/info) states, all questions with this tag should also include a tag specifying the applicable programming language or tool. This is especially important when dealing with HTML parsing. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Nov 27 '15 at 08:12
Regex bad idea for idea. Use a dom parser to construct a tree for the document. Php has good libraries for this — Ed Heal, Nov 27 '15 at 08:20
@IlyaKogan: Well, all those do-not-parse-HTML-with-regex links are useless if OP is determined to only use the search regex plugin. It only supports regex. Max, can you use PHP code to process the string in question? Then, you'd be able to use DOMDocument with DOMXPath. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Nov 27 '15 at 08:25
Just in case, you may try `]*\bhref\s*=\s*["'](?!(?:#|javascript\s*:))([^"']+)[^>]*>([^<]*)<\/a>` ([demo](https://regex101.com/r/pR7kU5/2)), but note it is still unclear what you need, and this regex might cause other issues now or in future. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Nov 27 '15 at 08:32
