Re^2: Regexp: Match anything except a certain word

Thanks! This looks good, although it does not check for http and so it also put the target to local links, but I should be able to put the pieces together now.

Oops, I read the problem too fast. Fix: `$test =~ s{ ( <a\s (?:(?!target=\|>).)* href="http:// (?:(?!target=\|>).)* ) (?=>) }{$1 target="_blank"}xsgi;` [download] Alternatively, the following might be faster, especially considering `href` is usually the first attribute: `$test =~ s{ ( <a\s (?:(?!href=\|target=\|>).)* href="http:// (?:(?!target=\|>).)* ) (?=>) }{$1 target="_blank"}xsgi;` [download] Tested. Update: Collapsed `(?!..re1..)(?!..re2..)` into `(?!..re1..\|..re2..)`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

$test =~ s{
   (
      <a\s
      (?:(?!target=|>).)*
      href="http://
      (?:(?!target=|>).)*
   )
   (?=>)
}{$1 target="_blank"}xsgi;

Alternatively, the following *might* be faster, especially considering href is usually the first attribute:

$test =~ s{
   (
      <a\s
      (?:(?!href=|target=|>).)*
      href="http://
      (?:(?!target=|>).)*
   )
   (?=>)
}{$1 target="_blank"}xsgi;
[download]

Tested.

Update: Collapsed (?!..re1..)(?!..re2..) into (?!..re1..|..re2..)
