- Did you try adding a delimiter around your regex pattern? That's what the little note on the bottom of your screenshot says. So for instance, /<a[^>]*>(.*?)<\/a>/ , noting the added slashes. (Since this is replacing stuff in your database, let me say, use at your own risk.) – tmdesigned Commented Feb 21, 2019 at 22:45
