I have a situation where I will be pulling back an article that may
contain none or several references to link IDs in the following format:
<a href="javascript:void(FILELINK('226'))"></a>

The rest of the article is basically text in the format of a news
article.  What I need to do is to extract the ID (the #226 in this
example) and run a query returning it's value and replacing the 226 with
the link.  I can't change the database to meet my needs unfortunately. 
I am using MSSQL Server 2000.

So the flow looks like this (as I see it):

1. Run a query bringing back the article as a string. (I've built this already)

2. Search the string for the pattern above which will always be the same
except the ID value will of course be different in each occurance, and
store the IDs in an array. (I have no idea how to do this)

3. I will then run a query returning the actual links and search for the
ID and replace the ID number with the associated link. (I should be able
to figure this out.


Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to do this?  Does my logic flow
seem solid?

Thanks for any help,
Ron
