How to omit replacement in somepart of text using regular expression?

For ex:

If i want to replace mumbai with mumbai/aaa.com but if i have an anchor tag

<a href="/mumbai/bbb.com>mumbai</a>
then in the anchor tag too the replacement takes place which should not be done..

How to solve this problem?

Post the code you have used for the replacement.

[padmaneha]

Regex.Replace(str1, m.Result("$2"), sRep);


str1 is the htm file where the string is to get modified and srep is the string that replaces ..

[r035198x]

See the specs for the Replace . There are overloads that allow you to specify how many times the replacement can occur.

[padmaneha]

Regex.Replace(str1, m.Result("$2"), sRep);


str1 is the htm file where the string is to get modified and srep is the string that replaces ..

can u please write a code for example?

The code examples are there in the specs for that method. It's just a matter of picking the correct Replace method from the class which also accepts an integer specifying the number of replacements to do.
