... and I like the way Rev lets you build a variety of solutions.  This, for
me, is food for the mind.

I don't think there is any realistic speed difference between the solutions
unless the HTML text block is very large (like an indexed of 100 links to
'my favorite web sites'), and then the regEx will be the slowest factor.
Both solutions use this, so again, just as quick in Rev.

Thanks for the quiz :-)
