HUH? If THE URL IS THE SAME, then how can one link lead you somewhere the other link does not? If both links point to the same URL, they should both take you to the same page, otherwise if they take you different places, they must have different url's . The problem appears to be that you are trying to select via a regular expression, and more than one thing is matching that expression. Can you change the regex so it will select one unique link instead of matching multiple links on the page?? Or another way to consider it, if you were working the page manually, how would you know which link is the one you want to click, what identifies it to you visually? Instead of supplying us with detailed HTML of the table and links you don't want to select, how about you provide some HTML of the one you DO want to select? Perhaps it is inside some other unique container like a div which could be used to identify it better?
