Took the above regexps and turned them into a BBedit text filter.
- Save the Perl script below into "~/Library/Application
Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/Convert URL and email to links.pl"
- In Terminal: chmod 755 '~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text
Filters/Convert URL and email to links.pl'
- In BBEdit, select the text you want to convert (e.g. the whole
document), and select Text > Apply Text Filter > Convert URL and email to
links.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Filter to add tags around web links (starting with http:// or www.) and
# email addreses.
# Known issues: will double-convert (i.e. will add tags around web addresses
# already in tags).
use strict;
my $input = '';
while (<>) {
$input .= $_;
}
# Convert web URLs to href links
$input =~
s|\b(([\w-]+://?\|www[.])[^\s()<>]+(?:\([\w\d]+\)\|([^[:punct:]\s]\|/)))|<a
href="$1">$1</a>|g;
# Convert email addresses to mailto links
$input =~
s/((?:[\w\-\.]+)@(?:(\[([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([\w\-]+\.)+)([a-zA-Z]{2,4})))/<a
href="mailto:$1";>$1<\/a>/g;
# Remove http://http://
$input =~ s/href\s*=\s*"(?![[:alnum:]\/]*?:)/href="http:\/\//g;
# Spit it back out
print "$input";
