Hello,
I am searching how to mass remove links?
For example:
I have links which I do not know, and want to reaplace all them.
I tryied to find a href, but it only remove a href, but left link as text.

What suggestions?

Don’t works on Wordpress 2.7.1?

Works beautifully, but doesn’t make changes to the excerpts — is that a possible future upgrade?

As it might make a difference:

Wordpress 2.6.3
PHP 5.2
MySQL 5.0

The following lines were repeated dozens of times:

and the final message was:

@Bryan:
I had a look at the plugin and tested it with your text, and it replaced properly. I searched for /home.earthlink.net/~bldumka/ and replaced it with /www.dumka.us/ without issues. I even tried it inside an image tag in a post with lots of text, and it worked as expected.

Could you copy and paste the exact code that was printed to the screen?

Is something special required when dealing with slashes [/]?

I’m attempting to replace the location of graphics files after a ISP change.

Example: /home.earthlink.net/~bldumka/

replaced with: /www.dumka.us/

The code responds with a warning about mismatched number of parameters and nothing is changed.

Your new version was partly successful. I was able to remove the wild cards in comments, but when I tried a straight search/replace of regular text to correct to blockquotes, it replaced everything in the blog instead and I had to restore from my backup. Not a great loss, because I was able to restore to something posted only a couple of hours earlier. But I am concerned about this.

On the positive side of the ledger, it allowed me to switch from Quoter, no longer being developed, to WP Threaded Comments.

Peace,
Gene
