First: you better make sure that regular expression isn't greedy. It's likely to select everything from the first <a to the last </a> in the line or possibly to the end of the file. (\<a.*\?<\/a>) and next you'll need to allow for links that pass through lineend characters unless you know a lot about the structure of the html file. In my favorite language it would be an s after the trailing quote of the overall expression, /<a.*?<\/a>/is. In BBEdit it's (\s) or something like that at the end of the expression. -- --> So do we celebrate the start of a new decade at the end of this year? Or do the tens start at in January 2011?
