    Extracting strings from HTML tags!

    Hey,

    I'm fairly new to C programming and I'm trying to extract strings from within HTML tags!
    For instance, if i have the following.

    li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-1"><a href="#Combinatorial_algorithms"><span class="tocnumber">1</span> <span class="toctext">Combinatorial algorithms</span></a>

    I want to extract the string "#Combinational_algorithms"

    I tried using various methods in the strtok() function but dint succeed!

    Can anyone please let me know, how i can do this??

    Use strstr() to find "#" then a loop to copy until the next " or > is found.
