Thanks for your note.

I update a schedule for a client every few weeks, I paste the text into 
DreamWeaver, then I have to slog through turning all the email and web 
addresses to hyperlinks manually, bit of a nightmare. 

Here is a sample schedule 
http://www.robertburridge.com/Workshops/schedule_sample.html that is basic 
html, next step would be to make the email and web addresses active hyperlinks.

It would be very nice to automate the process with a BBEdit grep, or a command 
line directive, what ever. I must have spent four hours on Google to no avail. 
Found an application http://www.unmarked.com/textsoap/ that stated it would do 
the trick but don't want to download it.

Any assistance would be much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.
