search/replace on special characters in hyperlinks

Post by Dan in MN »

Hi, I have another question regarding search/replace in hyperlinks.

I have several hyperlinks that also have bookmarks inside the tags, for example:
dhs_id_888333.hcsp#here

I am trying to get them to look like this:
javascript:link('dhs_id_888333.hcsp','here'), or javascript:link('dhs_id_888333.hcsp#here','')

We've tried several different methods to get this to happen, including using ASCII character codes with wildcard characters. The problem seems to be that the characters after the '#' are not being picked up, even with a wildcard expression like "hcsp(*)".

Any ideas on how we can do this? Thanks!
