wotz Admin	Posted: 17 Mar 2005 09:55:47 Hi ob1, Thanks for your post and your comments. I hate regular expressions! I think you have two problems. (1) You don't need to add slashes, that is sorted out automatically. (2) the regular expressions are greedy, so you need to be careful with .* Try <a href=http://.?> or <a href="http://.?"> It works for me! But if you are using that as the Start Item string, that may not be what you want, because the feed item will start after the <a> tag and will not pick up the URL unless it is repeated in the item. International characters in ISO-8859-1 were fixed late yesterday (I hoped) - are you still having a problem? If so what encoding is the web page? If you can post the URL, I'll take a look. Or if you want to keep it private you can email webmaster at wotzwot.com wotz
