start of code for the tag hrefparser

<cfset val=htmleditformat(attributes.string)> <cfset pos1 = findnocase("http://",val)> <cfif pos1 gt 0> <cfset val2=removechars(val,1,(pos1-1))> <cfset pos2=findnocase(" ",val2,pos1)> <cfif pos2 gt 0> <cfset val2=removechars(val2,pos2,len(val2)-1)>

</cfif> <cfset myval2="{a href='"&val2&" ' target='_blank'>"&val2&"</a>"> <cfset value= replacenocase(val,val2,myval2)>

<cfset caller.href=(value)> <cfelse> <cfset caller.href=val> </cfif>

end of code

usage on other pages

<cfset txt = "amit is good at http://www.quickcoding.com"> <cf_hrefparser string="#txt#"> <cfoutput>#href#</cfoutput>

this is just an example! you need to write a better one to suit your needs! its just based on a factor that web adress cannot contain spaces and must start with http:// for yourneeds you'll have to make it for www as well as email address . just think of those algorithms and then code them happy coding,

How would a regular expression cover any of these types of link... telling it to start at http:// would be easy but how to tell it where to stop? Or what about an email address?

Sorry I'm very new to regular expression and have only successfully used them for a print friendly script....
