RegExp Help

[BrettF]

Ok... I'm doing some stuff with webpages, and I want to change the souce, so I need to change links and stuff. Like so:

<a href="index.htm">Index</a>

to

<a href="http://www.somesite.com/index.htm">Index</a>

If that makes sense... I'm pretty sure it can be done with RegExp, but how, I am completely clueless... Is there any chance that someone could get me started with the RegExp?

Hi,

???

Global $str = '<a href="index.htm">Index</a>'
MsgBox(0, $str, StringRegExpReplace($str, '(?<=<a href=").*?(?=index.htm">Index</a>)', 'http://www.somesite.com/'))

So long,

Excellent example! You have slightly diminished the weakness of my RegExp Fu, in the area of Lookahead and Lookbehind Assertions.

Thanks.
