Actually I didn't pose my question correctly.
I also needed to grep out the Link for use in JS during the process.
I wrapped this in a class file and here is the entry that I ended up with.
Thanks for the assist though...
==
function getPL($plric)
{
//variable set to add at the end of the RIC if it's a stock not a page
$temp = B2;
//find out if it's a stock by query for the period in the RIC
if (eregi(\., $plric))
{
//add B2 if it's a stock
$plric = $plric + $temp;
}
//the data comes out of the server pipe delimited
$pages = split(\|,`/mdsweb/cgi-bin/Snap_Pages -s 000.000.000.00 -p
34927 -r $plric`);
$a=0;
while ($pages[$a] != )
{
$pages[$a] = htmlentities($pages[$a]);
//replace spaces with nbsp;
$pages[$a] = str_replace( , nbsp;, $pages[$a]);
//find the left angle brackets
$a1 = spliti(lt;, $pages[$a]);
$b=0;
while ($a1[$b] != )
{
//if the resulting data has a right angle bracket
if (eregi(gt, $a1[$b]))
{
$a2 = spliti(gt;, $a1[$b]);
if (eregi(\., $a2[0]))
{
echo a class='small'
href='http://server/php/QST/PageTest.php?plric=;;
//this would be the raw RIC
echo $a2[0],$tag;
//put back the left angle bracket in the link
echo 'lt;;
echo $a2[0];
//put back the right angle bracket in the link
echo gt;/a;
$c=1;
//echo the link itself
while ($a2[$c])
{
echo $a2[$c];
$c++;
}
}
else
{
echo a class='small'
href='http://server/php/QST/PageTest.php?plric=;;
//this would be a Page request not a RIC
echo $a2[0];
echo ';
echo $a2[0];
echo /a;
$c=1;
while ($a2[$c])
{
echo $a2[$c];
$c++;
}
}
}
else
{
echo $a1[$b];
}
$b++;
}
echo br;
$a++;
}
}

blah blah blah blah blah Link blah blah blah blah Link
I think I need to use eregi_replace to make the line look like this:
blah blah blah blah blah a href='#'Link/a blah blah blah blah a
href='#'Link/a
Depending on how accurately you have stated the problem, this may work:
$text = 'blah blah blah blah blah Link blah blah blah blah Link';
$text = str_replace('', a href='#'XX, $text);
$text = str_replace('', /a, $text);
$text = str_replace('XX', '', $text);
