how toextract links from search engine results

[suman.tedla]

Hi,

I am writing a java application which extracts the results of search
engines,( its search engines-not one search engine) on a particular
query.I know how to connect to respective search engines and get the
html data.

But,What is the efficient way to extract the links from the results
pages.How to parse the html code.I have to extract results from atleast
5 search engines.

To say exactly, I want to list the urls listed in green color, for
example in google.
Guys , please help me.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Regular expressions. Look for "Pattern" and "Matcher" in the Java API.
