Hi,

Thanks for this, but I'd prefer to find a forum in a newsreader, like 
thunderbird, not in a web interface with all its adverts and distractions.

Could you be so kind and allow here an exception for me in English, please?
I am looking for a RegExp that would match the following pattern:

[Any alphanumeric text][<a href="][Any alphanumeric text][<a href="][Any 
alphanumeric text][<a/>]

I need this for a text which is intended to be displayed later in a 
web-like editor with hyperlinks.
I'd like to make sure that the hyperlinks are correctly inserted, before 
the text goes into the web display. So the following pattern would be OK 
and must not be a match:

[Any alphanumeric text][<a href="][Any alphanumeric text][<a/>][Any 
alphanumeric text][<a href="][Any alphanumeric text][<a/>]

I tried patterns like '<a href=.+?^[<a/>].+?<a href=.+?</a>'
which was intended to work like:

'<a href=' not being followed by '<a/>' but 'any alphanumeric text' and 
a second '<a href=">'

in other words if '<a href=' is not followed by '</a>' but a second '<a 
href=' that's faulty and must be matched and reported for correction.

Hope I could explain well enough ...

Thanks for any help on this!
Kind regards, Heinz
