To match one href key/value pairs per line:
while (<>) {
if (/LinkArea=\"MoreHeadlines\"\>/) {
print "$1\n", if (/href\=\"(\w+)\"\s/);
}
}
...though this does assume that you'd only have one
href key and value per line after the "MoreHeadlines"
match. If it's possible to have multiple per line,
a more robust solution would include possibly splitting
on the space char, matching and storing the href key/value
pair into an array or other data structure.
