If you need it in c++, then tag it c++ the next time... oh and you should **totally** try regex: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags/1732454#1732454 – Ivo Wetzel Jan 06 '11 at 14:49

1@ivo, you suggest regex and point to the bane of parsing html with regex .. *hmmm..*, are you missing a **not** in there ? – Gabriele Petrioli Jan 06 '11 at 14:51

@Gaby Doesn't the link itself stand for sarcasm? :) – Ivo Wetzel Jan 06 '11 at 14:53

@Ivo - and those who _don't_ follow the link? Do you think _they_ will get the sarcasm? – Oded Jan 06 '11 at 14:54

Use an HTML parser for your platform/language.
There are some recommendations for c++ ones here.
Once you have a parsed document, you will need to look at each src and href in it - you will also need to remember the base tag, if one exists and add logic for external, relative and absolute paths.
