this:

B4X:

    Dim pat As String = $"href=(".*?)</a></p>|<strong>(.+?):</str"$
    Dim mat As Matcher = Regex.Matcher2(pat, Regex.MULTILINE, LookIn)
    Do While mat.Find
        If mat.Group(1) <> Null Then
            Log(mat.Group(1).Replace(">"," "))
        else if mat.Group(2) <> Null Then
            Log(mat.Group(2))
        End If
    Loop

will get you this:

But in the meantime, this random guess might be enough to get you pointed in the right direction:

href\=\"([^\"]*)\"

looks like the cat walked across the keyboard, but is actually a regex expression/pattern/template that is looking for:

href=" (the \ are to say: the next character is actually a character to look for, don't interpret it as a special command)
followed by collecting everything inside the ( ) brackets into Matcher.Group(1), ie will match/collect all characters except "
followed by "

Not easily. Getting both author name and lessons with one pattern is doable, but not straightforward.

If you are already have working code (using two patterns?) then I'd stick with that.

ps the right-to-left text causing the track numbers to be physically in the string AFTER the track titles... that took me a while to work out ?

this:

B4X:

    Dim pat As String = $"href=(".*?)</a></p>|<strong>(.+?):</str"$
    Dim mat As Matcher = Regex.Matcher2(pat, Regex.MULTILINE, LookIn)
    Do While mat.Find
        If mat.Group(1) <> Null Then
            Log(mat.Group(1).Replace(">"," "))
        else if mat.Group(2) <> Null Then
            Log(mat.Group(2))
        End If
    Loop

Lol every day I learn something new, and today I learned a nifty way to conduct two searches in parallel. ?
