Perhaps we can help him by helping him conclude that an url is just an alphanumeric string? And that regex is perfect for testing, part matching or manipulating such strings? -- Evertjan.

It is my lack of experience using Regular Expressions that is the problem here, not RegEx. Thankfully, this can easily be altered with a little research and practice. Once I become more familure with using Regular Expressions, this method to perform the String replace that i require will be quite suitable. James
