I need some brave souls to test some code. Well, maybe brave is too strong a word. The script looks for URL's (web addresses) in your post and automatically turns them into links. Like this: http://www.sailboatowners.com If a few of you more tech-savvy folk would put your links in the body instead of the link field we'll give this thing a try. If it doesn't work quite right (and it may not...) just let me know here. Thanks!

But do tildes work in addresses there?

Ok Phil, Let's give it a try... Without tildes: http://personal.bellsouth.net/m/c/mcfabre/boat_pictures.htm With tildes (a one-person's-opinion site): http://www.eskimo.com/~mighetto/murrelet.htm Looks like it still can't handle the tildes! (later that morning) Looks like the tildes are working now! That was fast, Phil. Enjoy, MArk

illegal characters

Hi Fred, I think I can capture those but you should know that apostrophes and spaces are illegal in URL's. A number of browsers will get a "404 page not found" error. Just change the name of the html page to EpitomesRebuild.html and you're all set.

Not so fast guys.

Phil, the URL is changed and it works with a cut and paste. But in this present session it does not appear as a LINK to me. I will add one here as a test: http://www.boatohio.com/magazine.shtml

boatohio.com link works from here...

How does your link differ from what's shown on the screen, Ed?

Hmmm... any grep guru's out there?

That one is sticky: the http: are the very first characters in the field, that is proving to be a challenge. If I start the field with a spce it's fine.

Trailing punctuation

I just sent a post that had a period after the link I put in my sentence. The auto-linker included the period in the path. I haven't seen many pages that end in a period, so maybe you could just test for that? Then we can put in links like this: http://www.sailboatowners.com.
