Hello Barry,

Click to expand...

You need to escape the additional "s in your string. If I remember correctly
you do that by doubling the "s to make it:

dim s as string = "<a href=""javascript:NewWindow('/contract_info/index.asp?action=Delete&site=DB&id=17016852')"">Details</a>"

The reges would be what you've created, or more exactly:

NewWindow\('([^']+)'\)
