Hello,
I have included a section of code below
that is driving me nuts.
If I don't run the Substitution operations,
then I can successfully extract the URL
and the imbedded anchor text from
$parsed_html.
Once I include the Substitution operations,
then I cannot extract the same results.
Even though the output text looks theoretically
correct, I cannot see why any combination of the
Substitution operation breaks my code.
Can you offer any suggestions to me?

The above could cause problems later.
