Hi.

POSIX seems to be acting up in TxtP. Alternatively, I could be making a mistake with my syntax...

Here's my XHTML:
I want to grab the first part of the filename inside the tags (before the extension) and repeat it in the href, like so:
My RegExp is: I'm getting a 'Cannot find Regular Expression:'

Any ideas?

That's non-Posix syntax (and your handling of the > isn't quite right). You need

Find what: "">([^.]+)
Replace with: "\1">\1

[X] Regular expression

(You don't need to quote the dot in the character class, which is itself a quoting operator.)

Thank you very much! Now I'm confused as to what's POSIX and what ain't...
But cheers for the help!

But beware of the longest-match rule. Consider what happens if there are two matching <a> elements on one line, or, indeed, just one of them, with a dot somewhere to the right of it... is safer.
