Crap, just realised this won't work, I need to duplicate the strings i.e. one for the href, one for the actual text.

I'm just gonna write a little python script to do it..

This is what I was wondering already initially, hence my question about if you didn't want a little more than just the <a> for the tag...

Anyway, TECO to the rescue...

Hold on to your hat. Were we go. A complete TECO program for this. Replace all dollar signs with ESCAPE.

Clear as a spring rain.

Let me know if you want me to explain it... ;-)
