title: Regex to find all hrefs that contain a path but no "." (dot)
body: <p>I'm a newbie
  I am trying to create a regex in notepad ++ to replace all <code>href="http://www.reactivemail.com/(any series of charcters)"</code></p>
  
  <p>essentially all I want is to put a / on the end of all href's but only if it does not contain a dot e.g it is a path to a file like .html</p>
  
  <p>so here is what i want to find</p>
  
  <p><code>href="http://www.reactivemail.com(some path to a directory)"</code></p>
  
  <p>but ignore <code>href="http:www.reactivemail.com(some path).some extension"</code></p>
  
  <p>and want to add a / to href's that only go to a directory and are missing a / on the end</p>
  
  <p>this is the regex I am using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(href="http:\/\/www\.reactivemail\.com[^\.*.*"*]*)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the replace is <code>\1/</code></p>
  
  <p>it finds what I want perfectly</p>
  
  <p>only for href's with a .file extension it still finds the path and ignores everything after the. instead of ignoring everything because it contains a dot</p>
