that's for sure, but I've had to do it, and I did something like this

<pseudo pseudo pseudo code>

Find the first instance of "<img"  Or "<a href"  and call it "a"
Starting from that point, find the first instance of ">".. call it "z"
Save a sub string from "a" to "z"
Do a replace() on the sub string
start from after "z" and do it again until there are no more instances of
"<img" or "<a href" left in the remainder of the string

</pppc>
