String search

Is there a simple way to search a file for a variable length string in a file? What I'm trying to do is download an html document off the internet, and search the file for a string like: "http://www.whatever.com/bleh/picture*.jpg", where the * is a pair of numbers that change daily. If I could easily extract that, then it's trivial to download the image. If anyone's interested, it's a program to download the current strip from User Friendly, http://www.userfriendly.org/, and place it as your desktop background. Regards, Greg
