Hi folks,

I am retrieving a website for a site using httpWebRequest.  What I want to 
do with the retrieved webpage is list all the hyperlinks in the page.  If I 
do a simple regex search for <a then I get links that are commented out in 
code and I don't want that.  I want links that are actually active.  This is 
to do with reciprocal link check.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Have a look at the HTML agility pack. It allows you to parse HTML as it were 
XML.

You can also throw a regex at it from this site regexlib.com
