Search and replace. tivaelydoc 12/22/2008 12:28:01 AM I need to find a way to replace about 3000 lines of code. Every line is just set of numbers like this: 141556089 18608562 12336324 What I need the replace to do is change every number to look like this: <a href="http://www.whateverlink.com/141556089">141556089<br /> <a href="http://www.whateverlink.com/18608562">18608562<br /> <a href="http://www.whateverlink.com/12336324">12336324<br /> How would I do it?
