One issue I've found is that URLS after char returns don't get parsed. <br /> <br />For example: <br />--- start example --- <br />www.yahoo.com is a great search portal. <br /> <br />www.google.com is great search engine. <br />--- end example --- <br /> <br />www.yahoo.com gets parsed, but www.google.com does not. <br /> <br />Any suggestions?Comment on Make URLs and Email Addresses Clickable Automatically with VBScripthttp://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/Comment by Brian Hanifin ( <a href=""></a> )<br /><br />Here's a more complete version of Bruno's solution: <br /> <br /> ' Remove unwanted punctuation at the end of the links (both the HREF and the text inside the anchor tag). <br /> DIM UNWANTED_PUNCTUATION <br /> UNWANTED_PUNCTUATION = "\?<\[\].,!" <br /> strText = ereg_replace(strText, "[" & UNWANTED_PUNCTUATION & "]+""", """") <br /> strText = ereg_replace(strText, "([" & UNWANTED_PUNCTUATION & "]+)</a>", "</a>$1") <br /> <br />This has worked on all of the text I have tested so far.Comment on Make URLs and Email Addresses Clickable Automatically with VBScripthttp://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/Comment by Bruno ( <a href=""></a> )<br /><br />Hi ILJD. <br />Your script just saved my life! GREAT JOB! <br /> <br />About the "." bug, I've inserted at the end of the first function, the following script. <br /> <br />replace(strText,".""",""".") <br /> <br />It's not perfect, but at leat lets the href works. <br /> <br />Tks <br />BrunoComment on Make URLs and Email Addresses Clickable Automatically with VBScripthttp://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/Comment by Bas ( <a href=""></a> )<br /><br />great thanks :) <br /> <br />I'll check to see if you found something.. :) Thanks for the effort!Comment on Make URLs and Email Addresses Clickable Automatically with VBScripthttp://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/Comment by Dave Child ( <a href="http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com">http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com</a> )<br /><br />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.Comment on Make URLs and Email Addresses Clickable Automatically with VBScripthttp://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/Comment by Bas ( <a href=""></a> )<br /><br />Thanks for the quick reaction.. Sorry for my slow reaction.. <br /> <br />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?Comment on Make URLs and Email Addresses Clickable Automatically with VBScripthttp://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/Comment by Dave Child ( <a href="http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com">http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com</a> )<br /><br />Try replacing "\n" with "\r\n". That will likely do the trick if the script isn't working.Comment on Make URLs and Email Addresses Clickable Automatically with VBScripthttp://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/automatically-convert-urls/comments/Comment by Bas ( <a href=""></a> )<br /><br />#4. ILoveJackDaniels on July 16, 2004: <br /> <br />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). <br /> <br />I still seem to have this problem.. What should I change to make it work?
