Regex to replace href links from static html

Rails
1

Hi,
I am in the process of migrating some static html pages to ROR . See
http://pm.tamil.net/akaram_uni.html.
Currently it is difficult to migrate because the href references point
to different locations.
Eg.http://www.tamil.net/projectmadurai/pub/pm0027/pm0027.pdf
http://www.tamil.net/projectmadurai/pub/pm0241/pm0241.pdf
I want to move the .pdf files to one location and point the href
references to one location.
Please note that this is one such .html. I got loads of .html files
similarly each href locations are pointing to different locations.
Please provide me a regex expression to find and replace all such
locations.

Cheers

You really don’t want to use a regex to parse html - you’ll end up in
a world of pain. Use an actual html parser like Nokogiri
