Problem was escaping the closing <\/A 

also changed the CAT.* to [a-z][a-z]\d\d\d\d since the catalog number
always has a pattern like:  ch9822 -- that is, 2 characters and 4 digits,
and this eliminates the space being part of \1.

This works as expected.

Is there a better way to specify to match 4 digits?

Thanks to all who replied.
