Replacing HTML tags with sed

Ok, so this is stupid simple, and I know I am going to feel like an idiot when I get help.

I am altering a HTML report that has contraband in it so that the links to said contraband and the images are not shown.

The link/img pairs are in the form of :
Code:
<a href="files\Image\imgcache.0_embedded_47.jpg" title=""><img src="thumbnails\imgcache.0_embedded_47_thumb.jpg" style="width:100%; height=100%"></a>

All the replacements I need to do start with "files" in the link, and "thumbnails" in the image tags. Everything after that is variable.

The sed command I am using is :
Code:
sed 's#\<a href=\"files*\>\<img src=\"thumbnails*\>#\<img src=redact.png\>#g' File\ System\ Extraction\ Report.html > altered.html

Any help would be appreciated, as I have spent way to long on this already.

HTML::ElementRaw(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     HTML::ElementRaw(3pm)

NAME
HTML::ElementRaw - Perl extension for HTML::Element(3). SYNOPSIS
use HTML::ElementRaw; $er = new HTML::ElementRaw; $text = '<p>I would like this &nbsp; HTML to not be encoded</p>'; $er->push_content($text); $h = new HTML::Element 'h2'; $h->push_content($er); # Now $text will appear as you typed it, non-escaped, # embedded in the HTML produced by $h. print $h->as_HTML; DESCRIPTION
Provides a way to graft raw HTML strings into your HTML::Element(3) structures. Since they represent raw text, these can only be leaves in your HTML element tree. The only methods that are of any real use in this degenerate element are push_content() and as_HTML(). The push_content() method will simply prepend the provided text to the current content. If you happen to pass an HTML::element to push_content, the output of the as_HTML() method in that element will be prepended. REQUIRES
