Well, this isn't the most robust and someone will probably say not to use regular expressions, but the Q&D way is: import re fixed = re.sub(r'(http:[^\s\n\r]+)', r'<a href="\1">\1</a>', your_string) NB. If the URLs are malformed (like have spaces in them, or are broken over several lines) this won't work right. Regards, Jordan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
