Why go for foxreplace for this?
Why not do it in any simple text or html editor software with global
replacement? of course, you could be trying to do something else, and
selected this odd example to get answers.
Thanks.

@vsrawat - What a rude and unhelpful response. It's obvious the OP is looking
to replace this on the go with foxreplace.

There is nothing rude or offensive.
It is a practical reply.
Foxreplace is primarily for a "character" based replacement, not for
word or sentence or paragraph or entire-page based replacement. What can
be done in a jiffy in notepad or wordpad or ms word, why go through all
these complications in achieving the same in foxreplace?
Thanks.

You can use a regular expression to do this kind of substitution and you have
to enable the "Replace URLs" option in the options window. You can use a
substitution like the following, which would work in this case and with all
similar links that have a number in parenthesis:
Choose regular expression in the button at the left of the replace field
Replace: javascript:ViewLink(\(\d+\))
With: site.org/links/view_link.asp?LinkID=$1

In response to vsrawat, FoxReplace is for string or regex-based replacements,
so words, sentences, paragraphs or entire pages are fine if you know how to
write the substitution (although there are of course some limitations).
