Re: Adding HTTP URL Code

I think the reason you didn't get a reply is because no one could understand what you wanted to happen.... my guess is... You need a regular expression to turn URLs in a string into links. So that this: --- This is a test. It is only a test. What happens when I include a URL in my results text? http://not.a.real.url/programs This is only a test --- becomes: --- This is a test. It is only a test. What happens when I include a URL in my results text? <a href="http://not.a.real.url/programs">http://not.a.real.url/programs</a> This is only a test --- Correct? Let us know, and I'm sure someone can help you out. FWIW it's been asked MANY times, so a search of the archives might help.
