Ok, if you want a single RE... How about:


test = '''
<a href="Web_Sites.htm#A Web Sites">
<a name="A Web Sites"></a>
<a
href="Web_Sites.htm#A Web Sites">
<a
name="A Web Sites"></a>
<a HREF="Web_Sites.htm#A Web Sites">
<a name=Quoteless></a>
<a name = "oo ps"></a>
'''

import re

r = re.compile(r'''
(?:href=['"][^#]+[#]([^"']+)["'])
| (?:name=['"]?([^'">]+))
''', re.IGNORECASE | re.MULTILINE | re.DOTALL | re.VERBOSE)

def zap_space(m):
return m.group(0).replace(' ', '_')

print r.sub(zap_space, test)

It prints out

<a href="Web_Sites.htm#A_Web_Sites">
<a name="A_Web_Sites"></a>
<a
href="Web_Sites.htm#A_Web_Sites">
<a
name="A_Web_Sites"></a>
<a HREF="Web_Sites.htm#A_Web_____________________________Sites ">
<a name=Quoteless></a>
<a name = "oo ps"></a>
