It took a long time of web searching to find a simple solution. True it does not work in all cases of HTML, but does work on analyzing HTML the table I am working on. Thanks a lot.

This will catch tags like this <a href="some URL">, but not like <a title="Next >" href="some URL">. In general parsing HTML and XML with regular expressions does not work in all cases. It will work in a lot of cases, but not all. In the poster's use case where he is editing documents in Homesite, then it would probably work well enough since he is going to see what it catches, but if you were doing this automatically in some program, you'd have problems.
