Regex question. Fast answer would be appreciated.?

Question

Using the PHP preg_replace function so find a specific encoded url and replace it with another, I would like to know a regex that can to the below thing:

Find:

website.stuff?q=http%3A%2F%2Fqqq.proxi /<FIND ANY RANDOM AMOUNT OF LETTERS, NUMBERS AND SYMBOLS OF VARYING LENGTHS>folder%2Ffile.html%3Fparam1%3Dst...

I know how to do the PHP stuff, its the regex used that's bending my mind.

NOTE: Don't include the < > in the actual regex, they are there just to aid readability, add a http://www. in front of the website.stuff and there is no space between proxi and the /.

P.S. The yahoo spam filter really annoys me.
