retrieving <a> tags of a string with RegExp

Hi,

I would like to get an array of <a> html tags og a string.

I have done this but it doesnt works :

var reg;
var str='Bonjour, ceci est un test, une <a
href="phrase.php">phrase</a> décrivant un <img src="mot.gif" alt="mot">
assez <a href="important.php">important</a>';

reg=new RegExp('<a [^<|>]+>([^<|>]*)<\/a>', "gi");

matchstr=reg.exec(str);
if (matchstr == null)
alert("No match");
else
{
alert(matchstr.length);
for (var i = 0; i < matchstr.length; i++)
{
alert(matchstr[i]);
}

}


My BUG :
matchstr only contains <a href="phrase.php">phrase</a> bu not <a
href="important.php">important</a> !!


How to do then ?

Thanks for any help on it !

Regards

Fred
