# Replace URL string

 * I’m trying to replace a URL string in the posts that have ended up in there. 
   It usually starts with **/index.php?l=** and it has a bunch of variable text 
   in there making up a phrase, usually **word-word-word**. Is there a way to remove
   that type of string?
 * I’ve tried _http:\/\/example\.com[^>]*_. Thanks for any help.
