The example "perl" regex code was pretty nasty. However, it did
feature the abililty to find any "internet-related" url that posted as
text.
If you were looking for only ftp or http url's, it should be pretty
easy to process text using the related http or ftp portions of that
regex code.
Of course, if you were looking for anyting that may be potentially
used as a link , regardless of the type of service it was requesting,
you might be a bit sorry.
Just my two bits...
