Google doesn't put quotes around most attributes. The following works
(takes single or double quotes or even no quotes into consideration).
Watch out for wrapping in the regular expressions. It allows you to find
the value of 1 attribute in one or more tags (see examples).
<cfscript>
function GetAttributeValue(str,tag,attr){
var regexp =
"<(#tag#)\s[^>]*#attr#=('.*?'|"".*?""|[^\s>]+)[^>]*>";
var aReturn = ArrayNew(1);
var start = 1;
var stTmp = StructNew();
while(true){
stTmp = REFindNoCase(regexp,str,start,true);
if(stTmp.pos[1] IS 0) break;
ArrayAppend(aReturn,REReplace(Mid(str,stTmp.pos[3],stTmp.len[3]),"^['""]
(.*)['""]$","\1"));
start = stTmp.pos[1] + stTmp.len[1];
}
return aReturn;
}
</cfscript>
<cfhttp url="http://www.google.com/"; throwonerror="yes"></cfhttp>
<cfoutput>#HTMLCodeFormat(cfhttp.filecontent)#</cfoutput>
<cfdump var="#GetAttributeValue(cfhttp.filecontent,'a','href')#">
<cfdump var="#GetAttributeValue(cfhttp.filecontent,'img','src')#">
<cfdump var="#GetAttributeValue(cfhttp.filecontent,'a|td','class')#">
