IPhone : How to get data in the href tag in iOS?

Currently i am working on an iOS app which requires me to parse the JSON data(announcements within our company) and show in a grouped tableview, i have already tried - stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString and tried to show the links in UITextView but i am not getting the result i needed. I want to show only the data from the href tag which contains some links where users can click on them to see announcements. Below is the code i have written . Can anybody point me in the right direction ?

if (indexPath.section == 0) {

    UILabel *issueStatus = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 2, cell.frame.size.width, 15)];
    [issueStatus setText:[[tmpArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"title"]];
    issueStatus.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:issueStatus];



    UITextView *issueStatus2 = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 20, cell.frame.size.width, 60)];
    NSString *str1 = [[[[[[[tmpArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"body"] valueForKey:@"view"] valueForKey:@"value"] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"<p>" withString:@""] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"<a href=\"" withString:@"" ] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"class=external-link rel=nofollow>" withString:@""];
    [issueStatus2 setText:str1];
    issueStatus2.editable = NO;
    issueStatus2.scrollEnabled = NO;
    issueStatus2.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeLink;
    [cell.contentView addSubview:issueStatus2];

and below is the sample JSON data for a key-value pair i am getting out of JSON , Can any one help me on how to get only the link in the href tag to be displayed in my UITextView?
