Problem with Regex to detect a hyperlink in C#

Question

I am working in replacing a text with a hyperlink in C#. The problem here is..

Case 1:No problem

Input: ASAss12345

Output:ASAss12345

Case 2:Problem here

Input: ASAss12345

Output:ASAss12345'>ASAss12345

Preferred Output: ASAss12345

How can I rectify this problem. Code her for your reference.

mailItem.HTMLBody = Regex.Replace(mailItem.HTMLBody, "(?<!http://stack.com/=)ASA[a-z][a-z][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9](?!</a>)", "<a href='http://stack.com/=$&'>$&</a>");

Can u just skip the hyper linked text ?? i dont understand in case 2 , you are entering Hyperlinked text and in return u need the same hypelinked text again ?? one way can be to skip the Hyperlinked text and should only work for the text which is not hyperlinked.... — Sangram Nandkhile

How do I define LiteralName and site. They do exist in the current context. Also, where does Literalname.Text identify the regex pattern?
