Anyone know what languages this solution will work for?

The script works great!, thank you. One issue I've found is that URLS after char returns don't get parsed.

For example:
--- start example ---
www.yahoo.com is a great search portal.

www.google.com is great search engine.
--- end example ---

www.yahoo.com gets parsed, but www.google.com does not.

Any suggestions?

Here's a more complete version of Bruno's solution:

' Remove unwanted punctuation at the end of the links (both the HREF and the text inside the anchor tag).
DIM UNWANTED_PUNCTUATION
UNWANTED_PUNCTUATION = "\?<\[\].,!"
strText = ereg_replace(strText, "[" & UNWANTED_PUNCTUATION & "]+""", """")
strText = ereg_replace(strText, "([" & UNWANTED_PUNCTUATION & "]+)", "$1")

This has worked on all of the text I have tested so far.

Hi ILJD.
Your script just saved my life! GREAT JOB!

About the "." bug, I've inserted at the end of the first function, the following script.

replace(strText,".""",""".")

It's not perfect, but at leat lets the href works.

Tks
Bruno

The \r and \n stuff should match new lines and whitespace in VBScript. Let me do a little testing though and I'll see if I can work out a definitive solution.

Thanks for the quick reaction.. Sorry for my slow reaction..

But it doesn't work.. Something else I could try to make the links work when they are the first (and only thing) on a line?

Try replacing "\n" with "\r\n". That will likely do the trick if the script isn't working.

Curious. Thanks, Nisse, for pointing that out. I've updated the code slightly so it should work for any whitespace, including new lines (it should have done before, strangely).

I still seem to have this problem.. What should I change to make it work?
