Bonjour, Olivier!

Sorry, that was a typo, of course!

My dear, I've read so many of such articles, but somehow I can't get it 
into my brain! Obviously, Regular Expressions (and French, too!) are two 
languages my brain seems to be almost incompatible with ... (grin)

Oh yeah, that did the trick! For all cases I could think of and tested 
up to now, it worked like a charm, perfectly from the very start. By the 
way, I used the first, 'long' version you proposed, just in case the 
text might contain '<a' within any other context than a hyperlink.
So my main mistake seems to be the mix-up or confusion between ^ and ! 
besides the bracket syntax ...

Yes, using an internet tranlation site helped quite well understanding 
your reply. I must confess, except for Bonjour or Merci I don't have 
much french vocabulary at hand - I had been lost completely without such 
a tool.

So I'd like to say a very big MERCI to you - thank you sooooo much, you 
saved my day, or even more correctly, you saved my week with your quick 
and accurate support!

Knd regards, Heinz
