parse links from html

[xrado]

hi, i need a regex help

for now i have
suburl = /<a[^>]+href\s*=\s*("|\')([^"|\']+)[^>]*>(.*)<\/a>/g.exec(HTML)

i get suburl[2] = url , suburl[3] = link name, but not workin fine in some situations.
for instance if i have "<a href="xxx">yyyy</a><a>dddddd<a>" the result is messed up with both yyyy and dddd

problem is in the (.*)<\/a> i guess

any suggestion
