Seeing as our own resident Northern Ireland residing expert cant be arsed to help me because of some self centred need to gain promotion I need help from anyone that understands these. Ive tried many a time and frankly havent got a bastard clue!

I know it can be done and is fairly straight forward.

I want a regex that will add a bit to the start of any link in the document

ie <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk">

I want to change to

<a href="http://www.toontastic.net/result.php?theurl=http://wwww.bbc.co.uk">

at the same time there could be other bits in the link

eg

<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk" title="BBC" />

or the http may be missing

<a href="www.bbc.co.uk"/>

or any one of a dozen other valid link setups.

therefore I need to find any <a tags and add in a bit between the speech mark and the next char regardless of whats shown etc

Anyone?

I seriously worry about people who actually understand that post.

[Ant]

(?:<a.*?href=[""'](?<url>.*?)[""'].*?>)(?<name>(?><a[^<]*>(?<DEPTH>)|</a>(?<-DEPTH>)|.)+)(?(DEPTH)(?!))(?:</a>)

should work for finding <A href="">WHATEVER</A>

had to do a bit of checking on that and if i'm honest i think certain urls will still break it

I know it's not an answer - but a quick goole search gave me the following :-


http://www.regular-e...o/examples.html


http://www.pagecolum...t_html_tags.htm


And each page look like it has good onward links that might help.
