https://www.math.washington.edu/~greenbau/Math_498/surfer.m // Here they are looking for the string 'http:' ,but the website I want to crawl does have the links like this: href="studierende/bachelor-studiengaenge/betriebswirtschaft/aktuelles/terminplaene/terminplan-ss/" class="link">Terminplan</a. So the algorithm can't find the link.

Try regexp . For example:
exp = '<href="\w+">'
matches = regexp(youStr,exp,'match')

index = strfind(Str, 'href=')
