I need a solid Add and Replace add-on

[Sal Collaziano]

I used VigLink in the past and long after I removed the add-on and deleted its associated data, I've noticed lots of "viglinks" still in the discussions of my communities.

I brought it up in the topic below but never knew what was causing the issue until this post:

OK, I just remembered why you're seeing those links. At one point, VigLink had a service where they would create product links out of certain keywords on the site. Those links were inserted by them, so they are all hard-coded with the viglink.com URL.

Product links pasted into posts by members were never rewritten, so those would still be valid URLs.

The only way I could think of to remove the links would be to use the content find and replace addon and use regular expressions to remove those links. That is beyond my knowledge, but someone else may be able to help.

So now I need a good solution to FIND all text with "viglink" and remove the URL. Is there an add-on that exists that will do this?

Just noting that I used @AndyB's addon linked to below. And for anyone who may find they have the VigLink issue I did, here's the exact post that shows how to use the add-on to remove the links:

That's right! I had forgot about that. I just couldn't make proper use of it without him showing me how to use it.
