Stop at first character match?

 

This question already has an answer here:

  • Greedy vs. Reluctant vs. Possessive Quantifiers 7 answers

    • + is a greedy operator meaning it matches as much as it possibly can and still allows the rest of the regex to match. For this, I recommend using a negated class meaning any character except: " "one or more" times. 

    /<a href="ftp:([^"]+)">/

    Make your regex ungreedy: 

    /<a href="ftp:(.+?)">/
//        here __^

    or: 

    /<a href="ftp:([^>"]+)">/

    But it's better to use a parser.

    * , + are greey (matches as much as possible). By appending ? after them, you can make non-greedy. 

    /<a href="ftp:(.+?)">/

    or you can specify exclude " using negated character classes ( [^...] ): 

    /<a href="ftp:([^"]+)">/

    BTW, it's not a good idea to use regular expression to parse HTML.
