for file in `grep -l $\# *`
do sed -e "s/(\(#[^$]*\))/\<a href=\"?profiles\&do_view=1\&num_profile=\\1\"\>$#\\1$\<\/a\>/g" $file > $file.tmp;
done

that.. should change something like (#454) to <a href="?profiles&do_view=1&num_profile=454">(#454)</a>
instead it changes it to <a href="?profiles&do_view=1&num_profile=#454">(##454)</a>
any suggestions?

"s/($#[^$]*\))/\<a href=\"?profiles\&do_view=1\&num_profile=\\1\"\>$#\\1$\<\/a\>/g"

You grouped the # sign with the number when you put $#[^)]*$. Take the # out of the group and the expression should work.

use this regex:

s/(#$[^)]*$)/<a href=\"?profiles/\&do_view=1\&num_profile=\\1\">(#\\1)</a>/g

You have a lot of extrat back slants (\) in the string that I don't think are necessary. They probably don't hurt any thing but the do make the line hard to read. I dropped them out.
