I found one called Reggy quite a while ago. It's written by Sam
Souder, but I don't have a URL for it.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: how to modify a part of an a href=...
I've done well with Regex buddy, but we ended up buying the program. Its
interface lets you experiment with regular expressions for various
languages, which is far better than examples.

Hi I´m not an expert so this is a simple workaround.
This will only work if 4c6a275ea326cb01f401 is a static value
// some prevoius value
var id= selection[0].id;
//get the string from tue url
var mylink=$('show_user').firstDescendant().getAttribute('href');
//replace '4c6a275ea326cb01f401' with id value
mylink=mylink.replace( '4c6a275ea326cb01f401', id );
//set the new value to the url
$('show_user').firstDescendant().setAttribute('href')=mylink;
if 4c6a275ea326cb01f401 is a dynamic value one may as well use a
similar process except that the url string has to be splitted into
smaller parts and then filled with the proper values .
Hope this can help you.

Now that you have the existing link, and the new bit you want to
replace, it's just a matter of string splitting and re-assembly. If
the /admin/users/ part is always the same, you could do something
really simple like this:
(wrap this whole thing in a test for link's existence, so you don't
get bitten if the HTML changes later)
var new = '/admin/users/' + id + '?' +
link.href.toString().split('?').last();
and finally,
link.href = new;
and you're done.
