Help with RegEx

    I'm relatively new to regular expressions, and I have a particular thing I want to do: Replace relative url's with absolute urls, but leave absolute urls alone.

    If my pattern is: /src="/
    It matches all img's and hrefs, but what I really want is:
    /src="/ except if the next four characters are "http"

    and of course I find my solution a few seconds later after trying to figure this out for a day...

    for those who are looking for a similar solution, you need a negative assertion:

    /src="/
    changes to:
    /src="(?!http)/
