Would this solution work if there is more than one web address in the memo
field?

This one will do it, if it is like a paragraph, and the URL is in the middle
of it.
<CFOUTPUT query="yourquery">
<CFIF #FindNoCase('http://', "#string#", 1)#>
<CFSET thestart = #FindNoCase("http://", "#string#", 1)#>
<CFSET theend = #FindNoCase(" ", "#string#", #thestart#)#>
<CFSET urllength = #theend# - #thestart#>
<CFSET theurl = #mid("#string#", #thestart#, #urllength#)#>
<CFSET thelength = #len(string)#>
<CFSET remainder = #thelength# - #theend#>
#left(string, "#thestart#" - 1)# <A href="#theurl#">#theurl#</A>
#mid(string, "#theend#", "#remainder#")#
<CFELSE>
#string#
</CFIF>
</CFOUTPUT>

Subject: Parsing text in memo field to recognize web addresses
Is there some way to get your coldfusion app to recognize a web address?
i.e., this is what I would like to do in the app:
The text goes into a memo field in the access database normally. When the
message is displayed through the app, and if it finds the text 'http:\\'
anywhere in the field, it will add the 'a href' syntax to that string to
make the link 'clickable' within the text.
