Find string between 2 chars regex python

Question

I'm trying to find URLs in html. This is the example I'm trying to match:

href="http://(.+)"(?:.+)

<a href="http://www.etf.rs/" target="_top">

This matches: www.etf.rs/" target=

And it should: www.etf.rs**

It's not important if it matches some rubish thing, but it's iportant that all URLs are matched. Thanks!

You can use re.search:

import re

s = '<a href="http://www.etf.rs/" target="_top">'
print re.search('"http://(.*)"\s', s).group(1)

Output:

www.etf.rs/
