Re: Trying to craft a regexp

Maybe I didn't myself clear enough. I don't want to catch every tag A on the HTML but all the mail addresses that are not already inside a tag A. The expression you sugest will catch every tag A, failing to catch mail addresses outside the scope of a tag A. Thanks anyway. Manu.
