Hi- It's also sometimes wrong to add a www. For instance, what if it's a page on MIT's web site? (http://web.mit.edu/).

It might be advantageous to use this instead: http://(?!www\.)[^.]+\.com That will match only URLs with two parts in the hostname, hopefully fixing at least some of the problems that result from prepending www. willy-nilly. --Quentin +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: | http://lists.isite.net/listgate/analog-help/unsubscribe.html | | Digest version: http://lists.isite.net/listgate/analog-help-digest/ | Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general | List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives +------------------------------------------------------------------------
