Hi Russ

If the new filenames are all in a list then fortunately it is rather  
easy :)

Simply make sure, first, that there is nothing else in the file but  
the filenames.

Then

Find: .+

Replace: <li><a href="http://widstock.com/static/&";>&</li>

The assumption is that each filename is all of the line. You might  
want to check if there are any spaces or other "invisible" characters  
first.

A very brief explanation.

As I think you know .+ will find all the characters in a line except  
the return at the end.

The & rather handily will put all that is found in the find expression  
into the replace expression. Here it is used twice because we need the  
found string twice in the replace expression.
