"Learning GREP - need help with one example":

Hi guys,

I am fascinated by the GREP capabilities of BBEdit and have been trying to immerse myself in it. I am a complete regex newbie, but I'm starting to understand some of the concepts. However t I need some more practical examples in order to figure it out.

Here's my latest problem.

Let's say I have a URL like this:

http://www.mysite.com/section/subsection/Z3245678a34/

And I want to turn it into an html link with the last element as the highlighted text:

<a href="" >">Z3245678a34</a>

What would I use as the search & replace values?

I hope to learn how to find substrings between certain characters (like "/"). The "Z3245678a34" could be anything. "Unicorn123", "mypage"," learningisfun4all".

Any help would be much appreciated. Also if anyone knows of some good sites with lots of GREP examples, I'd be grateful.

thanks

SB
