A great tool no one uses much anymore:

echo <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://addr:port/page";>http://addr:port/page</a>|
         awk -F'[:/]' '{for (i = 2; i&lt;=NF; i++) printf &quot;%s &quot;, $i;}'

OR in perl:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $string = &quot;<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://addr:port/page&quot";>http://addr:port/page&quot</a>;;


my ($http, undef, undef, $addr, $port, $page, $rest) =
         split(/[\/:]/, $string);
 

print &quot;http is $http, addr is $addr, port is $port, page $page\n&quot;;



You'll have to deal with the possibility that there is not a port, 
therefore shift stuff when there is no second ':' in the string.
