FWIW, this is an untested regex from off the top of my head...

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.

in this string:
<p><b>15) <a href=" http://blah.com?search=Some Lingering
Suspicion"
target="_blank">"A Lingering Suspicion"</a></b></p>
i want to search for the spaces inside:
?search=
and replace those spaces with + so it should end up looking
like this:
?search=Some+Lingering+Suspicion
Can this be done?
thanks,
Steven
