See my previous response -- if you use regex, you're probably better
off just removing target attributes and then adding it to all links.
The problem with the concoction here is that ... well, several
things... getting "everything that's not the word 'target'" requires
something called negative look-ahead, which is different than a class
which is what you're using ... the negated class [^target] will find
any character that isn't one of t, a, r, g or e ... so if I put <a
href="whatever"> in the text, this regular expression will find "<a
h", but since you've specified .*href following that, it'll just find
"<a " since it will want to find "href"... also, you'll run into
problems with having href in the regex at all, because the target
attribute can be either before or after the href, plus any number of
other attributes which are valid for links and can appear anywhere in
the tag.
