Search:
    <a href="(.+?)"(.*?)>

Replace:
    <a href="images/\1"\2>

Changes:
    <a href="name.jpg">
    <h1>blah</h1>
    <a href="name2.jpg" target="_new">name2.jpg</a>
    <a href="blue.jpg">

to:
    <a href="images/name.jpg">
    <h1>blah</h1>
    <a href="images/name2.jpg" target="_new">name2.jpg</a>
    <a href="images/blue.jpg">
