This one should work for most instances:
'/(?<!(href|HREF)=")(?P<displaytext>\b(?P<
protocol>https?|ftp)://(?
P<domain>[-A-Za-z0-9.]+))(?P<file>/[-A-Za-z0-9+
& #/%=~_|!:,.;]*)?(?
P<parameters>\?[-A-Za-z0-9+&#/%=~_|!:,.;]*)?/'
It'll skip of the text inside the anchor tag, and capture
the what you
want to keep in the back reference "displaytext".
It's based on a one of the stock regexes from my regex buddy
library
so it won't be too bad, but I'm still a newbie to regex so
it'll
probably need to be optimized.
