Javascript regex to get the href attribute data from a text

Question

I have been working with ajax and I have retrieved some data, I want to extract a url from an href attribute, with specific class name. I need a javascript regex for it to extract me the url from that bunch of data. The URL from that data should look like this.

https://www.facebook.com/username

Image Link, this image shows the data, and its specific class name and the url in the href, I want to extract that url, fro, through that specific class name. The class name is : class="_2s25 _606w"

`$(data).find('._2s25 _606w').attr('href');`. check here:- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20007721/parsing-returned-html-from-jquery-ajax-request — Alive to die - Anant, Sep 07 '17 at 11:06
Why are you so [hell-bent on getting the username](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46090091/how-to-get-the-url-of-the-of-the-ajaxed-page), when Facebook does not want you to have access to that any more? — CBroe, Sep 07 '17 at 11:32
don't rely on `_2s25 _606w` type of classes, as they autogenerated and change almost on every new facebook build — Igor Milla, Sep 07 '17 at 13:24
