What is I am doing is grabing a page... Then I am saying Hey look for any places you find the <img src="whatever"> tag and insert int he <img src="... make it now say <img src="http://www.domain.com/whatever.gif"> I don't always know the picture name or the web page it is pointing to thus I need to specify the assign the rest of that line to a $_ or some variable to append the to.
