Note Submitter: sasq1 at go2 dot pl ---- Only a small correction to this regexp: %"(.+)"[\s]+((http|https|ftp|file)://[^\s]+?)(.*)%sU It's not necessary to write character class "[..]" if it only contains one character match. Instead of "[\s]+" you can write simply "\s+". The similar is for the character class "[^\s]+", which may be written as "\S+". The "\S" assertion matches all characters, that are NOT whitespace. After those corrections we get a little shorter and easier to read regexp [if we can say that ANY regexp is easy to read at all ;-D ]: %"(.+)"\s+((http|https|ftp|file)://\S+?)(.*)%sU The only miserable thing with this regexp is that it matches patterns like: "Some description" http://www.somepage.com/catalog/file.html but doesn't match links like this one: "Some description" www.somepage.com/catalog/file.html
