Thanks SOO much. It works flawlessly. I find it scary that there are people out there who do regular expressions off the top of their heads. Anyway, thanks alot, -Ethan Nelson, Modulus, LLC "Philip Hallstrom" <php@philip.pjkh.com> wrote in message news:20050428134450.D87918@wolf.pjkh.com...

Its a long story, but basically, theres some code we cannot get around that is taking anchor tags such as <a href="#sat"> and turning them into <a href="http://host.com/folder/file.html?var=var&var2=var2#sat>. I need to undo this action with a pattern match on a large body of content with "". Can this be done. Here are further details: I need a regular expression that will recognize the following where #anchor can be anything such as #sat or #sunday or #lastpage: <a*href="http://*#anchor"*> And turn it into this: <a*href="#anchor"*> What I am doing is removing the http://host/.../.../file.html?variable&variable that immediately precedes the #anchor.

Hmm... $str = ereg_replace('<(a[^>]*href=")http://[^#]*(#[^"]*")>', '<$1$2>', $str); Completely untested and assumes lowercase tags and the use of double quotes and that a single <a href> tag fits on a single line... But it's a start. -philip
