I really have no idea what I am doing. I have never worked with regex
before. I can see where this would identify the actual URL string, but I am
unsure as to how to rewrite the file to add the <a href="" and the
appending " target=_blank"> and then the actual text of the link
and to wind up with </a> at the end.
I started trying to use <@replace> and other various metatags
associated with string variables, now I have not a clue.
Anyway, maybe I need to do a bit of reading and experimenting before I
go on...
Ok try this
[ ]https?://[^ ]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}[ ]
This says
1. starts with [space]http
2. has 1 to many non spaces chars
3. ends with . and 2 to 4 chars with space after that

Okay, I am not a regex expert by any means, but I am trying to do
something like this,
<@assign str "<@arg text>"
SCOPE="user">
<@assign expr "http?://[^ ]*" SCOPE="user">
<@regex str="@@str" expr="expr" type="e">
but I keep getting a return of M regardless if I am typing anything
with http:// in it or not.
I think this is on the right track, just wondering where to go from
here...
Thanks!
On a more useful note that my previous:
<@assign request$str "visit http://www.google.com/modules/default.taf
now">
<@assign request$expr "http?://[^ ]*">
<@regex str="@@request$str"
expr="@@request$expr" type="e">
will return
http://www.google.com/modules/default.taf
Since the _expression_ is looking for the first space to terminate the
url, it will include any punctuation (think url at end of sentence, the full
stop will be included) and if the url spans multiple lines, the line returns
will also be included.
