need a function that uses regexp to change slashes in html <a> tag

[justride]

Hi,

Is it possible to read a directory of sub directories and various folders to read in htm files only, scan through them and use regexpression to make all back slashes forward slashes for all hyperlinks that fall within the <a> tag?

I tried doing this is EditPad pro, but I cant seem to get it to work.

Does anybody know what the function would look like or if there is an easier way?

Thanks

Use perl, it is better for string manipulation and regex. Forum219

Yes, it is possible.
The pseudo-op code would be like:

1. Read the directory, find .htm files and subfolders.
2. open .htm file using file_get_contents
3. run regex
4. save file (make a backup )
5. next file or descend to next folder

It's not just easy, so consider an alternate solution.
