            URLConnection urlletak= url.openConnection();

            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlletak.getInputStream()));
            String inputLine;

Welcome to the Ranch

Thank you for correcting the name problem.

Please maintain code indentation and formatting with the CODE button; since you are new, I have edited your post and you can see how much better it looks. Please tell us the details and exactly what goes wrong.

Don't know, but can you find a regular expression which matches a URL?

Tq for the correction....Nothing problem with this code...But what i asked is how to find and get the href link in the page that i requested form http://localhost/mmpp...
System.out.println(inputLine); will give you the page requested and after that I need the function to find and get the href link in that page....Hope you can understand...

Well, how much parsing have you done? It pretty straightforward, you need to scan the string for the portion of the string that you want. This can be done by simply looping through the chars of the string, or you can use one of the higher level searching methods of the string class, or use regexes. See the java.lang.String and java.util.regex.Pattern class for more info.
