RegEx Trouble with Notepad++

I'm trying to create an expression that removes all links in an HTML file and replaces their destination with "#".

Find:

<a href="."$ `

Replace: 

<a href="#"

But Notepad++ says 0 results.

Here is an excerpt from my source file - http://pastebin.com/aDa3HTcb

The dot matches a single character, and you anchor your regex at the end of the input ($), it is therefore expected.

Replace your initial regex with:

<a href="[^"]+"

and it should work.

In your find your regex is malformated.

Try with a regex like :

<a href="[^"]*"
