i have word press site,
it has links in each post in following pattern.

http://jump2link.net/watch/getdownloadmanager.php?movie=Sculpture%20(2009)%20 &authid=1321

http://jump2link.net/watch/getdownloadmanager.php?movie=Dreams%20and%20Shadow s%20(2009)%20&authid=1321

so i want to replace all these links using "search regex" plugin.

i neeed help in generating regex pattern so that all links will get searched by this plugin and i can replace them.

thanks for your time.

as u can see the

http://jump2link.net/watch/getdownloadmanager.php?movie=

this part is constant in each url and later on the movie name which is random in each post.

if I have to take a (very) wild guess here, you should be able to do that in MySQL without having to mess with regex at all

there should be a query that finds "http://jump2link.net/watch/getdownloadmanager.php?movie=" in your links and then you can replace them with other entries?????

or a few lines of PHP???

i got it,

search for
/getdownloadmanager.php\?([^\"]*)\">/iU

i.e.

# starts with: getdownloadmanager.php?
# a series of characters up to, but not including, the next double-quote (") - 1st capture
# the string: ">
