I have various strings I need to extract from a bigger string.

 

The string are all in the format -

 

<a href="/drupal/test">testlink-#2<span class="image-replace"></span></a>

<a href="/drupal/test">testlink-#5<span class="image-replace"></span></a>

<a href="/drupal/test">testlink-#14<span class="image-replace"></span></a>

 

 

As you can see the only change is the number after the #.

 

Is anyone able to put together a regexp that will extract all strings in this format using preg_match_all()?

'%<a href="/drupal/test">testlink-#\d+<span class="image-replace"></span></a>%'

that should do it
