    Default Extracting

    I am trying to use regex to extract all the <a href links and print them, but I think it keeps reading the URL instead of the HTML, the code I have currently is:

    Any way I can make this work? I think I have the right concept, but implementing it seems tricky.

    Um, you need to actually connect to that URL, via a URLConnection.
    At the moment you are, as you suspect, simply matching against the String "http://www.google.co.uk".
    Please do not ask for code as refusal often offends.

    My parameter needs to stay as a String and I can't cast from a string to an URL, how do I connect to the URL with the string?

    You need to get one of these, from one of these.
    Then read from this to get the HTML.
