Don't need the lookarounds....

Use this regex and save $1 and $3 /(<a.*?"http://([^/]+/)+[^?]+?)([^=] +=\S+\s+\S&?)/gx

Then use this on $2 to replace the spaces s/\s/+/gx.

Then push $1 and $2 back together to get your whole string.

That's the perl way...

I was actually just looking for a regex solution to parsing up many
lines of text, some of which contain urls. And if those url's have a
space on the query string to replace those spaces on the query string
with the + character.

I could use CF but, was trying to just get the regex. Possbly using a
lookahead or lookbehind assertion.

do you plan to save the complete url in a variable or just search keyword in a variable? For example varUrl = <a href="http://blah.com? search=Some
Lingering Suspicion" target="_blank">"A Lingering Suspicion"</a>
or varUrl = "Some Lingering Suspicion"

Please clarify.
