Need to grab URL and place between <A></A> Tags
my output looks like:
Code:
<A HREF="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1629"> </A>
<A HREF="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1200"> </A>
<A HREF="http://old.nabble.com/AFP-eating-up-CPU-td19976358.html"> </A>

I need to grab each URL from http until the ending double quotes and place it between the > and </A>


Example:
<A HREF="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370"> </A>

should become

<A HREF="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370">Apple Remote Desktop: Configuring remotely via command line (kickstart) </A>
